Comparing <20200911143321.GA2374950@coredump.intra.peff.net> with the message I'm replying to so that I'd have messages which I would expect to be similar before the list handling I see that that older message included the header

   Sender: git-owner@vger.kernel.org

But the newer message does not have a Sender: header.

I don't know if that was a deliberate change.

Yes, since I've been using the List-ID header for filtering for a long time now, I hadn't noticed that the Sender: header was no longer being sent.
