Just tweaking the index view is only half a fix, IME. So some time ago I
removed the nuisance from the troublesome list, using procmail:

   :0
   * ^TO_luv-main@.*luv.asn.au
   {
                        # We need the subject line _content_, minus [list-name]:

      SUBJECT=`formail -czX "Subject:" | sed -re "s/Subject:// ; s/ 
\[luv-[a-z]*\]//g"`

                        # Header filter leaves body alone:
      :0fhw
      | formail -i "Subject: $SUBJECT"

                        # Delivery, with lockfile:
      :0:
      luv-main

That has the advantage that the [list-gumpf] is gone not only from the
index, but also from the edit-headers in vim, when replying.

It has worked for me for many months, though the list has now removed
the Subject pollution, due to the many complaints. (At least that's what
I recall. I wouldn't know.)

If more than one list were a nuisance, it could be repackaged as a
non-delivering generic filtering rule.
