(April 1 - how appropriate - though I think it was more like the 7th - 
see below)

If you check the IETF list archives, and search on DMARC:
at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?email_list=ietf&q=DMARC
(horrible interface, by the way - it doesn't give the option of 
selecting by month/year)

you'll find 100s of messages, on several threads, clustering from April 
7 through the end of April 2014.

Interestingly, the very first was this one:
Yahoo breaks every mailing list in the world including the IETF's

Another interesting thread:
One of the more interesting threads started with:
Will mailing lists survive DMARC?
