Not everyone uses Gmail, but that said, most modern mail clients offer the same kind of sorting.
Personally, I like modularlity. I'm subscribed to every Openmoko list except the kernel devel one, but I can see very compelling reasons why someone might be interested in say, not being on community but subscribing to device-owners. As far as the tags in the subject... I think it's a bad idea. If there is need of distinguishing which "part of the list" a specific message is part of, it really should have it's own list.
