You are correct, the sender is the person, and not the list or list-owner.
Majordomo never "originates" a message, only humans can do that.  Therefore,
the "From:" is the human email address and not the list address.

As for your aliases, I would add some slight changes here and there.  I will
unquote lines that I make changes too.
