Section 3.9.2 ("List") says:

A mailing list may be said to operate by "redistribution" rather than by "forwarding". [...] Note that the key difference between handling aliases (Section 3.9.1) and forwarding (this subsection) is the change to the backward-pointing address in this case.

It should say:

A mailing list may be said to operate by "redistribution" rather than by "forwarding". [...] Note that the key difference between handling aliases (Section 3.9.1) and lists (this subsection) is the change to the backward-pointing address in this case.

Notes:

The change replaces the second occurrence of "forwarding" with "lists" in the first paragraph of section 3.9.2.

The term "forwarding" is generally used as a synonym of transmitting as opposed to delivering locally. The beginning of this section attempts to introduce the term "redistribution" for the specific type of transmission described therein. The phrase where the change is necessary, in its original wording, contradicts both the first phrase in its own paragraph, and the last phrase of the preceding section about aliases, which says that handling aliases may result in forwarding.
