Well managed mailing lists such as this one can last a very long time. They don't just suddenly die, unless people lose interest in the topic or otherwise move on due to administrative issues with the list.
Implementing DMARC and configuring the list not to break DKIM signatures are both a certain amount of work, but large mail operators are starting to insist on these (Yahoo in particular, as I recall), so it might be worth doing at Asome point. I set all of this up on my own mail server last year. Yahoo has a DNS record that instructs other sites which use DMARC to reject all mail from Yahoo addresses that fails DMARC verification. I odn't know whether large operators are placing mail that fails DMARC tests into quarantine, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that they are.
