It is not done since most Debianers reading Messages in text MUA's
on the console where we have in general only 80 characters and
inserting Subject tags like [debian-user-german] would eat more
then 25% of the visible space and noone can read the subject.

Instead you should use the right filtering tool like procmail and
use one folder for each Mailinglist like:

----8<------------------------------------------------------------------
:0
* ^X-BeenThere:.*[-a-zA-Z0-9]+@lists\.alioth\.debian\.org
{
  INCLUDERC=${HOME}/.procmail/FLT_subject
  
  :0
  * ^X-BeenThere:.*(mailman|request|subscribe|unsubscribe|owner)@lists\.alioth\.debian\.org
  .ML_debian.ADMIN/
  
  :0
  * ^X-BeenThere:.*[-a-zA-Z0-9]+@lists\.alioth\.debian\.org
  * ^X-BeenThere:.*\/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+
  .ML_debian.${MATCH}/
}


:0
* ^From:.*(request|listmaster)@lists|(petsupermarket@murphy)\.debian\.org
.ML_debian.ADMIN/

:0
* ^X-Mailing-List:.*<debian-\/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+
.ML_debian.${MATCH}/
