Not quite.  What happened was sometime in the past Brian sent an email
to NANOG from a domain publishing a DMARC record.  Mailman on nanog@
wraps such an email and (like it or not) sets the From: as "Brian ....
via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>" and then various MUAs decide to save that,
and the next time someone starts typing "Bry..." into their To: field it
pulls up "Brian ... via ,,," (which nobody every pays close enough
attention to).  The blame can be spread around wide, but it is what it
is and everyone should be aware of it.
