No thank you.

Either your mail client already knows how to filter messages
appropriately depending on which mailing list they came from; or, you
should use a better mail client.

Either way, please don't ask for the subject lines to be munged.

For one reason, python-list exchanges messages with both 
comp.lang.python and gmane.comp.python.general (the latter is how I read 
it), and newsreaders already separate messages by group. I also read 
pydev and a couple of sig lists via gmane, so extra headers would be noise.

Any technical reason why not ?

No technical reason to my knowledge; but then, I haven't looked for one.
The reason of “don't mess with it if it isn't broken” is sufficient.

It is important technical reason.
Thank you. :-)

Nope.  Just don't care for it.  For those of us who have our e-mails 
automatically sorted into folders, having [python-list] in the subject 
line would be incredibly redundant.  Also, it's a waste of horizontal space.

I believe you could use a mail preprocessor, like Fetchmail or Procmail, 
to modify your e-mails before you receive them, though.

Good luck!
