Thanks to the fsf-tech team who explained the setup they are using for
lists.gnu.org and everybody helping to test in the bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29713

It seems to work well, but it does mean disabling most of the things
mailman can do, like filtering out HTML attachements, adjusting
headers, adding footers or subject prefixes, etc. And we did break at
least one workflow for people who were using DKIM signing and the
Errors-To header.

No, the opposite. People seemed happy and there were some examples
shown where (on other lists, like binutils) From rewriting caused
issues for some tools relying on patchwork.sourceware.org.

Being somewhat conservative doing that in steps. Last week we switched
the other gcc lists that receive patches (gcc-rust, libstdc++, fortran
and jit). This week looking at non-gcc lists on sourceware that use
patchwork (newlib, binutils, elfutils-devel, gdb-patches and
libabigail). Then if nothing breaks horribly more general lists if
people want.

Cheers,

Mark
