Many people are taking emails from tons of mailing lists.
I am one of them.
Removing the
prefix could only make the whole thing worse. It is nice to see in a
glance what is happening in your inbox :)
People receiving emails from lots of mailing-lists usually filter their
emails and put the incoming traffic from each mailing-list in a
different folder.
Filtering can be done on the email headers. For example, your email
includes the following:
List-Id: <ambassadors.lists.fedoraproject.org>
So filtering doesn't need any automatic tag in the message subject.
Again, I am only talking about the automatic [Ambassadors] tag.
