The answer that we (PostgreSQL folks, at least) went with was to stop
breaking DKIM because that's just a bad approach to take these days with
mailing lists.  If you're curious about what PostgreSQL and now SPI are
using for our lists, it's called pgLister and is here: 

https://gitlab.com/pglister/pglister

Others have hacked up mailman to make it stop breaking DKIM too (though
it's pretty grotty how they did it, I'll admit).

Yes, yes, I know that means a bunch of mailman features aren't
available.  We've managed to survive even without them.

Thanks,

Stephen
