Hi Lindsey,

Launchpad is not my forte, so I'm not even sure how to push only my
modifications to LP without the upstream branch changes.  And yes,
I'll be the first to say it's a bit confusing in it's current branch.

Here's a link to review the changes between rev 1375 and 1380 (where
my additions were added).

Yes, specifically that.  It checks for a DMARC domain record on every
list post.  The patch allows you do define, per list, whether to
allow/disgard/reject/hold if a poster's domain has a DMARC p=reject
policy published.
