If you mean, can we change mailing lists such that they're describable by
DMARC without any change in behaviour, whilst maintaining the essential
premises of mailing lists, then I don't see a mechanism that would allow
this.
If you mean, can we change DMARC (such that existing deployments will have
to change) such that a modified mailing list model (that handles the
existing use cases of mailing lists) would be describable, then I think
that's entirely possible.
Unfortunately, the only option I thought was possibly available isn't
permissible by the specification - therefore, the only solution involves
alterations to the deployed base, which has been ruled impossible for over
a year now.
