Since mailing lists are obviously a major consideration for DMARC, paying them due attention is certainly valid here as long as it's in the context of DMARC. The more abstract conversation about "mailing lists redux" should probably get its own list, or maybe take place on ietf-822, at least until there's actual work before the IETF such as a draft. However, again on the informal point, I don't think there's a need to make a declaration about something being off-topic until it's clearly become a distraction from the above.
