Not to my knowledge. The smtp-level envelope from on all of the messages I've received is git-owner@vger.kernel.org. Is there some other mechanism you might be filtering on?

(If you're not already, a reliable way to detect list messages is by the List-ID or X-Mailing-List headers, both of which are sent by the list software).

This may be further complicated, though, by the fact that the convention on this list is to cc people in responses. So you may receive a non-list copy of such a response. Though I don't see you cc'd on a lot of responses lately.
