It's actually quite easy to do. But most people don't want to do what I think should be done.
IMHO, the email list itself is a 1st class / proper entity that you are emailing or reading email from. -- I'm not emailing Bill or Greg or Marc or any specific individual when I type this reply.
Treat the mailing list as an individual that receives / reads / types / sends email messages. The mailing list is an SMTP terminal point. It is the end exclusive or the start of a message.
The new messages that it generates may be substantially based on content in messages that it received. But that's still a new message.
As such, messages from the mailing list should reflect the mailing list and not pretend or lie or fudge or fake that they are anyone else.
But that's my opinion and it's an unpopular one. But it's also one that is completely 100% compatible with SPF / DKIM / DMARC / etc. (Assuming that the mailing list / it's MTA apply said security to the new messages that it originates.)
