No, it isn't specifically a Gmail issue, it is an issue from the
combination of DMARC strict policies, sites that enforce DMARC policies,
and mailing lists.

Yahoo publishes DMARC policies that say messages from a Yahoo domain in
the From: header should only come from the Yahoo servers.  Gmail (and
other sites) recognize and follow those policies.  When a Yahoo user
sends email to a mailing list, and the list server resends the message,
it doesn't come from a Yahoo server, so sites that follow DMARC policies
reject the message.

The correct solution is for the mailing list software to be changed to
rewrite From: addresses.  Newer versions of Mailman support this.  The
address rewriting is annoying, but is the only true solution to being in
between sites that publish and honor DMARC policies.
