cc list admins: @Platonides and @Aklapper
On IRC today at least 4 people complained about being suspended from mediawiki-l due to excessive bounces. I think all are gmail users.
Your membership in the mailing list MediaWiki-l has been disabled due to excessive bounces
I know that a lot of folks received
Your membership in the mailing list MediaWiki-l has been disabled due to excessive bounces The last bounce received from you was dated 11-Jun-2019. You will not get any more messages from this list until you re-enable your membership. You will receive 3 more reminders like this before your membership in the list is deleted.
I also know that I (list admin) received 692 emails at 16:29UTC saying Bounce action notification.
All of them have in common that they include variations of:

Thanks Andre, that makes it clear that this is once again a DMARC problem. nasa.gov has p=reject set, so providers are (theoretically) rightfully rejecting the emails.
According to https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC could we try setting dmarc_moderation_action to Munge From?
Indeed Munge From seems the least intrusive, AFAICT lists administrators should be able to self-set this option for the list to test it works as expected.
Thanks.
I changed the value of Action to take when anyone posts to the list from a domain with a DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy (confusingly called dmarc_moderation_action) on https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/mediawiki-l/privacy/sender from Accept to Munge From.
Munge From means: This action replaces the poster's address in the From: header with the list's posting address and adds the poster's address to the addresses in the original Reply-To: header.
Does someone who understands DMARC better plan to document this on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Administration ?
Is this something that should (and can?) be set globally on all our lists? E.g. There were a bunch from AOL/Yahoo on the Xmldatadumps list (which I've now updated following Andre's instructions).
No idea until someone shares a complete email which includes all mail headers (but not in public please)... :)
@Aklapper Do you mean the "You have been unsubscribed" email or one of the bounces? I don't see how the former would help, but I can share that. The latter I am naturally unable to share because I don't receive the bounces nor the emails causing them.
Ah, true, indeed that won't help because there's no specific reason provided.
I have not received any Bounce action notification messages in the last two days, weird.
