I'm one of the list admins, at least for the main qemu-devel
list; some of the sublists have different admins (and
perhaps different settings -- there's no way to conveniently
say "manage all 5 of these lists with the same policies,
so it's easy for them to get out of sync, deliberately
or accidentally).

I have been considering whether we change how we're handling
the DMARC problem for the list. I picked munge-the-email
initially because I think we didn't really understand the
consequences in terms of patchmail, and also because there
was a group of subscribers who complained that they liked
the [qemu-devel] tag, used it for filtering email, etc.
I think overall my opinion has shifted to thinking that
the downsides of munge-the-email are too great and we should
indeed switch to not modifying the message at all.
