The one I received looked like this:

From: "NANOG" <service () cegips pl>

...

Has it been considered switching to "-all", instead of only "~all" in
the spf record?

$ dig +short +nocmd +nocomments TXT nanog.org
"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ip4:104.20.199.50 ip4:104.20.198.50
ip4:50.31.151.75 ip4:50.31.151.76 ip6:2001:1838:2001:8::19

ip6:2400:cb00:2048:1::6814:c732 ~all"

The SPF record wouldn't make a difference since that email was sent from @
cegips.pl, not from @nanog.org.  You'd have to change the SPF record for
the cegips.pl domain to impact their ability to send from that address.
