What benefit does it add over any other header. I only see it taking up
the space on my display.
IMHO we should disable the prefix in the mailing list settings. Most
other Fedora mailing lists don't use it nether.
Same here.
Filtering is possible (and probably more robust) on the email headers,
so the [Ambassadors] tag in the subject is completely redundant.
Now for the proposed [EMEA] and co. tags, things are much different,
since those are additional informations provided by humans, that can't
be provided otherwise (the mailing-list software can't add email headers
for those since it has no way to know that the email only concerns EMEA
or NA or... folks).
