Thank you for the replies gentlemen.  This draft exactly what we are needing!

Responsible users want to be able to send to e-mail lists as themselves and 
have replies go to themselves while bounces go to a central system inbox 
([email protected]) return-path address for processing and database 
cleanup - without risk of lower deliverability rates.

Honestly, I can't believe this wasn't considered.

I realize changes like this take a long time to roll out / be adopted; but 
what's involved in getting this "unstuck?  Honestly I have no idea how these 
things happen.

There is actually an existing working group draft discussing extending DMARC to

To be possibly overly frank, I think the draft is stalled.  Given existing 
practice, there are challenges to fielding this, for incremental adoption, in a 
way that is reasonable and useful.  (The Internet does not support 'flag' days.)

I am still, sometimes, mulling over the choices for this, but so far haven't 
come up with (or seen) ways to resolve the challenge.

An option the working group declined to pursue is to define an Author: field 
and leave the From: field to the 'handling' role DMARC has relegated it to.  
The draft for this is being pursued outside of the working group.
