RFC 2822 section 3.6.2 describes originator fields. By my reading
it is pretty clear that a list should add a Sender: field with the

Uh.....not by my reading. Lists add List-* fields (RFC 2369, RFC
2919) if they want to indicate something. Fields in the original
message should be preserved as-is.
Section 3.6.6 describes resent headers. One could make a plausible
argument that a list should add a Resent-Sender: rather than a
Sender: but it's reasonable to do it either way.
Mailing lists using Resent-* fields gives me the willies. Resent-*
fields were intended for MUAs resending mail. They weren't intended
for mailing lists.
