In my opinion that would just waste (limited) subject line space.
There really isn't a need for that with any modern email program, none
that I use at least - all of them can apply filters depending on
various fields of the email. My filters detect the
'List-Id: libcurl development <curl-library.cool.haxx.se>' field, but
there are many other possible header fields to choose from.
In any case, my email programs automatically apply my chosen label
'Curl' to all libcurl mailing list messages. And some related
messages, e.g. from github. With gmail they even end up in their own
'imap' folder when I use another email program to read my google mail.
