+1 from me as well. I also think this will be of help to many users.

In answer to Ralph's reply.
That is a very Gmail specific solution but, thanks god, not anyone is using Gmail.
For them it needs other solutions.
Anyway we should not focus on labeling / filtering what should possible in any email application but I cannot tell how much effort is needed to make it, it could be a real hassle.

My main goal is to improve readability of my inbox. Besides being subscribed to mailing lists also member of a dozen discourse forums, what can be abused as mailing lists as well. If each of them wouldn't use some kind of prepend label my inbox and the the one of many others would be cluttered.
Thanks to the label I see at a glance which list emailed me.
The label can be easily incorporated in the subject. Making it part of the sentence is feasible.

    Hallo,

    getting a separate email per mailing list gets messy, as there
    are to many.

    Currently I'm subscribed to some mailing lists covering similar
    things compared with nginx. If all of them would work without a
    prepend [/list title/] it would be a mess to distinguish them and
    focus on them which are currently important.
    When I open an email app or get email notification, the
    notification focuses on the subject, so I have to open the mail
    to know to which list it belongs to.

    A year ago there was the same discussion on digikam-us...@kde.org
    <mailto:digikam-us...@kde.org>, resulting in a prepend
    [digiKam-users]. It could be a bit shorter but it enables me to
    see what email is digikam related at a glance and the remaining
    space for the subject title gives me enough context to decided if
    I shall read or delete it. I'm doing that on a mid class phone.

    [nginx] would be enough instead of [nginx-user], as nearly any
    mailing list do.

    thank you

    Stefan

    Sure /nginx@nginx.org  <mailto:nginx@nginx.org>/ is fine for actively 
filtering, or for putting
    everything into another folder, but every other mailing list I'm on
    tags the list name in the subject.
    Then you are not subscribed the right mailing lists. ;-)

    Seriously, this discussion is almost as old as mailing lists. Rewriting
    the subject adds clutter, messes with some MUAs, wastes screen estate on
    devices with small screens (e.g. smartphones), and breaks DKIM.

    Filtering by the existing "List-Id" header works just fine. Also, you
    can use address extensions with your Google Mail (and many others),
    meaning that you can have your mailing list messages automatically
    filtered/labelled properly. Look at my address in this message, it
    uses "+nginx" as an extension.
