No, the annoying thing about the DMARC problem is that its effect depends
on the configuration settings of the person sending the email.
If someone sends mail from a domain that says all mail from that domain
will always have good DKIM signatures, and if the signature isn't present
or doesn't validate the mail should be rejected, and that message is
forwarded through bugs.debian.org to someone whose mail server honors
DMARC settings, the mail will be rejected. That's because the process of
modifying the message in the way that bugs.debian.org needs to do (adding
the bug number to the Subject header, for instance) usually breaks the
signature.
If you send mail from a domain that has a more relaxed (or no) DMARC
configuration, then your mail will go through fine and you'll not see the
problem.
