Sorry this is being resolved slowly. But as you can see in the bug
progress is being made, we just upgraded our mailman instance again
last week. I had requested testers a couple of months ago [1], but
didn't get much/any response, so I thought this wasn't very urgent. I
think we are ready to switch the list to not use From rewriting for
lists that want that. We could test it next week?

Cheers,

Mark
