[Mailman-cabal] Invitation to the CERT Vendor Meeting 2021 [General-7305] - mailman

Hi,
There was recently a mail on the (closed) Mailman security list from the CERT Coordination Center which had this strange CC field:
CC: '@mail.python.org, C@mail.python.org, E@mail.python.org, R@mail.python.org, T@mail.python.org, o@mail.python.org, r@mail.python.org, d@mail.python.org, i@mail.python.org, n@mail.python.org, a@mail.python.org, t@mail.python.org, e@mail.python.org, c@mail.python.org, "", "."@mail.python.org, g@mail.python.org
I guess those are "conformant" email addresses, but they seem unlikely to be mailboxes at python.org. I'm not sure if these addresses were added by the generating software at CERT, some MTA, or Mailman.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
P.S. I hope I'm not spoiling this for any amateur sleuths who wanted to figure it out for themselves, but yes, except for the apostrophe and the empty address, those are the letters in "CERT Coordination Center <cert@cert.org>", in order, with dupes eliminated.
P.P.S. It's about a conference, not a CVE. Hakuna matata!
Steve

Sorry you have to do extra work, but no problem for me. I almost complained to CERT ;-) but then I actually thought about it :-P, so no harm done (to me, anyway).
