I think this might be out of scope for the DMARC discussion list, though I agree that the problem exists. What this changes is where the unwanted notifications go; it does not actually cause the notifications. Also, in this scenario, with the out of office notifications going to the mailing list manager software, it could in theory be configured to filter out such messages, providing an even better user experience than before this exercise began. Now nobody would receive the unwanted notification, instead of somebody. But again, I still think this might be out of scope for DMARC specifically, at that point... so I don't know that it merits further discussion in the realm of DMARC.
