IIUC, the OpenWrt mailing list software (Mailman 2.1.29, last time I
checked) does not "break the signature".
Instead, it wraps the original message and modifies the "From:" header
before distributing the mail to list subscribers. That wrapped message
is then (either by Mailman or by the MTA, I'm not sure) provided with a
new signature that is valid for the domain in the new "From:" header.
This might seem odd, but it is a very common and reasonable workaround
for a fundamental flaw in DMARC. See:
DMARC introduces the concept of aligned identifiers. Briefly, it
means the domain in the RFC5322.From header must match the domain in
the "d=" tag in the DKIM signature for DKIM alignment, and/or match
the domain in the RFC5321.MailFrom field for SPF alignment. [..]
Unfortunately this conflicts with the ways a number of mailing lists
and other services have operated for many years. A number of
approaches have been proposed: [..]
3. Take ownership of the email message by changing the
RFC5322.From address to one in the mailing list's domain, and
adding a DKIM signature for that domain. [For example:]
B. Replace From: address, set Reply-To: to message author
- Change the RFC5322.From address to an address within the
mailing list's domain: u...@example.com =>
addr...@mailinglistdomain.com .
- Set or change the RFC5322.ReplyTo address to the message
author.
- Add DKIM signature using the mailing list's domain.

I don't know which headers Patchwork requires in order to be able to
process an email correctly, but if it requires a non-empty "Subject:"
header, then see:
