It's not entirely forgotten; section 2.3 of draft-allman-dkim-ssp-02 discusses multiple From addresses. We thought about resolving the ambiguity by (1) arbitrarily picking the first address in the From header field, (2) picking the address in the Sender header field, or (3) querying SSP for all addresses in the From header field, and combining them somehow. We picked (1), ...

 And there I think you picked the wrong one.

Fair enough that you disagree, but the main point though is that
the WG reached rough consensus.

I have seen sufficient comments from others to the effect that the Sender needs to be looked at in many situations that this matter probably ought to be reviewed (does that mean raising an Issue?).

No. For base, Barry and I are using a scheme where re-opening a
decided issue (which is what you'd presumably like in this case)
requires N people supporting, for some informally defined, but
increasing, value of N ....

That is fair comment, but there seem to be an awful lot of people still discussing the Role of Sender (and even List-ID and Return-Path) as possible signing domains.

OK, this is a petition for reopening this Issue. That gives 1 vote, but you will need lots more to take action. So I invite anyone else who supports this view to reply with a +1. If there is insufficient support, then I will shut up.

Here are a few examples of recent posts which seem to want to explore these alternatives:
