DNS query is already sent for each recipient when sending email. Asking
for MX record... So I do not see problem here.

But if this is problem, then we can just add option ENABLE/DISABLE
mangling of address in profile settings. Where user could specify action
for emails sent to his address.

And we can choose default settings for this option when user register
account.

Also that simple option? It could be just one query to database (or
where are stored user options) and based on this generate email.

But here I do not know. I have not seen bugzilla source code (I guess it
is some PHP application?), so I just try to find out solution to this
problem... But with PHP I could not help.

Mailing lists adding subject prefix or change some email headers.
Therefore they are by DMARC definitions incompatible with DMARC.

Same argument can be used from another point of view: Users who enforce
DMARC on their own address are already inconsistent with whole email
infrastructure.
