FWIW, my neighborhood's mailing list just recently implemented some
changes that were supposed to allow the list to work again for Yahoo
and other DMARC-affected users, after quite some time without service.
I don't know how successful they were at that, nor how difficult the
changes were ... but I do know the list server was offline for more
than a day while the changes went in, so it was less than trivial.
The only real change I can detect from looking at mail headers is that
it seems the list may now be attaching its own DKIM-Signature header
to emails that had one upon arrival.

If anyone thinks we might be motivated to become DMARC compliant,
I can inquire for more details. But I won't bother unless there's
real interest.
