I also agree.


Those who use procmail but for one reason or another want the subject
to be modified as well (some people let all their email to be mixed in
a single inbox) might try modifying the subject themselves,
and only for them.

Putting this in .procmailrc in an appropriate place would probably
work:

:0 fhw
* ^List-Id:.*reproducible-builds.lists.alioth.debian.org
* ! ^Subject: \[reproducible-builds\]
| sed -e 's/^Subject: /Subject: \[Reproducible-builds\] /'

:0 fhw
* ^List-Id:.*reproducible-commits.lists.alioth.debian.org
* ! ^Subject: \[reproducible-commits\]
| sed -e 's/^Subject: /Subject: \[Reproducible-commits\] /'


Thanks.
