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.
