I'm exactly the opposite, hardly any of the lists I subscribe to do
that, and I find it annoying when it's done. Every list mail comes with
a List-Id header so you can filter, tag or whatever.

I'd find it annoying to look at a list where every single message
starts with "[sa-user]".

I actually strip that kruft out of subject headers and I HATE lists that waste 
space in the Subject line for static text.

* ^Subject:.*\[
* $ ^Subject:$WS*((Re|Fwd):$WS*)*\[[^]]*\]
| sed 's/\[[^]]*\] //


I don't mind the tags, as long as they're short (under 8 chars). It helps me identify stuff that might've gotten misfiled. Sometimes I screw up the server-side Sieve rules, so everything ends up in my inbox for a day or two until I fix them.

I can't say off-hand what the longest and most obnoxious pre-tag that I've seen yet is. If the SA list used something like "[spamassassin-users]" as the pre-tag, I'd be annoyed.

(Also, some mail clients only let you sort by subject or sender, and not arbitrary mail headers.)
