It does.  There's a setting in mailman that's enabled for the nanog list.

dmarc_moderation_action (privacy): Action to take when anyone posts to the
list from a domain with a DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy.

It's set to Munge From.

So if your domain had a reject policy on DMARC, nanog will munge the from:
header to be 'Your Name via NANOG'<nanog () nanog org>.

Yes, the IETF list does that, for example. But NANOG's just not modifying anything is better, IMO.

But the larger point is that people should set p=reject and put the burden on mailing lists to adapt.
