It means that mailing list can't handle well SPF records with: "-all"
because:

disroot.org.            3600    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 a mx -all"

Because domain disroot.org does not authorize other domains but mx
server and a record to send e-mails, and then your server rejects
e-mail from help-gnu-emacs, creating a bounce, as mailing list has to
rewrite your e-mail and forward it from their server but with your
e-mail address in From:

In my opinion, that may be and should be solved server side, by
rewriting of e-mail headers, as From: may come from GNU server, while
Reply-To: may be injected, something like that.
