 Since I work for an ESP, I agree with this statement.

Do concepts generalize enough to allow issuing
draft-ietf-dkim-mailinglists also for these "authoring" MLMs?  I agree
that some solutions, e.g. publishing a key on behalf of an MLM, suit
ESPs better than regular mailing lists; but why is it important to
differentiate them, given that, in principle, the solution could work
for both?

I don't think ESPs fit into this draft at all. I believe the draft
should just target MLMs that re-author the original message.
