This is probably because you're using a Yahoo address, and Yahoo decided
to BREAK EVERY EMAIL DISCUSSION LIST IN THE WORLD with an aggressive
change to their DKIM policy about 6 months ago. That causes other
systems to incorrectly detect mail from YOU through the list as spam and
report the list to shared spam databases. Yahoo then uses those
false-positives to mark list mail to you as spam. Also, various people
get automatically bounced off the list for repeated refused delivery
whenever you post a few patches in a row. Such a clusterfuck.

(Since you're about the only Yahoo user on this list, it's only a minor
problem.. but I admin about 40 other lists that are full of yahoos.)

It took a couple months for Mailman to get a fix out and there's still
not a backport to the version of Debian on Selenic. So last week, I
finally decided to bite the bullet and forcibly install one for a newer
version of Debian and manually override the dependencies. Amazingly,
only one thing caught fire.
