Being an ancient academic, I am seldom sure about anything except the
inevitability of uncertainty ;)

_And_ I can't be certain about openstack.org, but for dns-operations
my "spidey sense" combined with the mail headers:
X-Original-To: dns-operations at lists.dns-oarc.net
Delivered-To: dns-operations at dns-oarc.net
along with
lists.dns-oarc.net. 30 IN CNAME mail.dns-oarc.net.

tell me not to expect a separate MX record for lists.dns-oarc.net.

All that said, everybody else pointed out the appropriate RFCs etc.
