You have yet to demonstrate the problem you are trying to solve even exists. I've gotten over 2700 spams this month, and zero of them have "ietf" anywhere in them, either header or body. Thus, I see no compelling reason for the ietf's list software to sign anything when a simple MUA filter on the Sender: line already achieves 100% accuracy.
