The implementation of the DMARC policy change is not consistent,
which makes being subscribers of the various email lists not so fun any
more.
I am not yet using the mail app but am hopeful by the time I start
using it, it will be working right.
In the meantime, since the bad guys have won again, the best thing
we can do is create that signature.

Google only replaces the From when necessary for DMARC. If a Yahoo user were
to post to this list, you would see the message as coming from them via the
list (it would say so in the sender's name) and the address in the From field
would be that of the group. I don't know for certain whether GG also destroys
the sender's address in other header fields--I never checked that--but for
Mailman lists with the DMARC patch, Mailman drops a copy of the poster's
address in the Reply-To field, so you can still extract and use it. In spite
of this, Apple dropped the prompt asking whether or not you wanted to use the
sender address when it detected that the reply address was likely to be a list
posting address; I have no idea why.
As to DMARC in general, well, to be honest I'm a resigned supporter. The fact
is that unlike the web, email has no definite, identifiable, user-visible
author address. Yes, DMARC messes up mailing lists and spam (and the people
who claim to save us from it) have won again, but we could live with the
changes if we all made the best of it.
