IIRC Glen from AMSL reads this list, in which case the message has already
reached the right ears.  As for possible remediation, if the lists are
implemented as local aliases(5) in the ietf.org Postfix server, then assigning
an "owner-" alias to the list is sufficient to avoid trouble with SPF and simple
forwarding should not break DKIM or DMARC.

The aliases(5) file (or its database representation) would then contain
something along the lines of:

	document.all: author1@a.example, author2@b.example
	owner-document.all: postmaster@xxxxxxxx
