Please in the future actually change the Subject when you do so.  (I
did it now.)

My guess is that this has something to do with the changes done in
configuration of mailman-managed GNU mailing lists to avoid the DKIM
lunacy, which I think also gave us the "[External]" prefixes and
mangled From addresses.

But the right place to ask this is not here, it is by sending them to
these two addresses:

  mailman@gnu.org
  sysadmin@gnu.org
