    All mails from list has: "Sender: "
    header set. This is sufficient for all decent mail clients.

    On the other hand adding List-ID: wouldn't hurt :-)

    This can be done on client side (or in your MDA), so why do it in mail
    list software...?

    debian-*, linux-xfs, postfix, ubuntu-*, kernel-traffic, linux-kernel and
    others don't add name of list to Subject. Only lists that adds [...] I
    know of is rt-*@lists.bestpractical.com.

    Just my two cents, but I don't really see any good reason to do it...
