I would put it much more strongly than that. Every mailing list I have
seen in the past 30 years rewrites the bounce address so it can handle
delivery failures itself rather than sending them back to the original
contributor who can't do anything about them. 

There are things that forward mail without rewriting the bounce
address but I wouldn't call them mailing lists. SPF and mailing lists
get along just fine.

Yes indeed.
