I'd be surprised if anybody dealing with the level of mailing list 
traffic that paying attention to several open source projects requires 
is just dumping all their mail into one box.

If they're already sorting things, either through per-mailing-list 
addresses or through sorting rules (Procmail or the like), the prefix in 
the subject line is completely unnecessary.   (However, I suppose some 
people might have made the newbie mistake of establishing their sorting 
rules based on the prefix, in which case taking it off would break it. 
But really, if sorting by mailing list, use the List-Id: header!)
