[Pkg-Cyrus-imapd-Debian-devel] RFC: Remove banner in list subject lines

[Benjamin Seidenberg]

After getting my last email back, I realized I had meant to ask about 
this previously.

What do you guys think about removing the 
"[Pkg-Cyrus-imapd-Debian-devel]" banner from the subject line of list 
messages?

I think we should for the following reasons:

1.) It's pointless. The only reason I can think of to use it for is 
finding list messages by a filter, but they can be filtered by the 
"List-Id" header

2.) It makes it harder to find what stuff is about by clogging up 
message lists. Take this recent list message's subject: "Bug#347658: 
[Pkg-Cyrus-imapd-Debian-devel] Bug#347658: please include patch from 
kolab for Shell.pm". There are *55* characters before the real subject 
starts. We can eliminate 31.  Additionally, I hope the BTS would not 
duplicate the Bug# tag if it's at the beggining of the message, which it 
would be without our tag.

3.) It's annoying.

Talking with Sven, he agrees with this proposal. Any comments?

Cheers,
Benjamin
