In the language of software engineering, this has moved from a defect to
fix to a lifecycle issue.  "Defect" is the stage where a bug is
reported: "fix" is the stage where the fix is available: "lifecycle" is
the often years-long process of getting the fix out to people who need it.

If I understand things correctly (and I may not be), Werner does not
host gnupg.org himself.  He rents a box in a colo facility for that, and
he's more or less stuck with whatever versions of software the provider
offers.  The provider hasn't offered an updated GNU Mailman, so
GnuPG-Users has this unfortunate situation where PGP/MIME doesn't
reliably work on it.

For what it's worth, my message left here as a correctly-signed PGP/MIME
message.  I received it back from the list as just 'signature.asc'.  A
(partial) diff of the two emails reveals:

That should hopefully make it clear exactly what the problem is.
