It's a plausible idea, IMO really better than "first author".

Wannabe "mailing lists" mutilating an existing Sender have no
leg to stand on, multi-author scenarios are rare at best, and
SSP explicitly notes that it's not designed for "non-standard"
mailing lists.

SSP would have to note very clearly that your proposal does NOT
allow for at least two standard use cases:  Sender in entirely
different domain, and almost all Resent-* cases.  That covers
Jim's "working as designed" point about my strictly.you@ case.
