I've looked at several list message headers now, and no one else I've checked has a softfail there—it's either
DMARC_POLICY_ALLOW(-0.50)[domain];

So the list server isn't causing the softfail. Something else isn't right. (And I think it's the list server itself that's doing that bit of spam scoring—the only messages that lack it are the ones sent from HyperKitty.)
OK, I see now that you're looking here at the list server's spamd SPF scores.
ajh.valmer@free.fr has recently been sending via SMTP server mail.starinux.org (213.36.253.166) which is not one of the regular free.fr servers (212.27.42.1-6). This hurts his spam score a little but it should not cause emails to be blocked as free.fr DMARC has "p=none" meaning don't reject and don't quarantine.
(I would expect a few bad ISPs to block him but not "all" which is what he wrote.)
I would expect his emails to be more deliverable if he used the SMTP server which matched each email address he uses. KMail makes it easy to configure the appropriate outbound account for each identity if you are using more than one. (Settings / Configure KMail / Identities / (select) / Modify / Advanced / Special Transport).
