The readymade mitigations for DMARC in mailman 3 are
"munge_from" and "wrap_message". The fact "wrap_message" messes
around with signatures in mutt is definitely not a good sign,
and "munge_from" will change the author's email and name from
the perspective of git-am.

The middle way could be to patch mailman 3 to "munge_from" while adding
the correct "From:" as the first thing in the body of the message if it
doesn't contain one already. This will make git-am pickup the correct
author's details and it should be some simple logic.

If Jaroslav is brave enough to maintain this supposed patch to mailman 3
in case it doesn't get picked-up upstream by the FSF folks...

I understand the maintainers needs must come first but it will be
terrible to get the GMail bouncing behaviour again, I don't want to
press the point since Jaroslav already made the speech I think it
was needed.
