I think the reason is that it's a Good Idea (TM).

Pah!  I receive ~200 a day, mostly from lists, and
the ones which don't have useful tags are a problem.
I can't possibly read all of them, but at least the
ones with such tags don't cause me to remove personal
email.

It isn't.  majordomo has a nice config option to do
just this.  And if people had taken up my kind offer
to host the list here, it would have been done by
now:-)

Cheers,
Matthew.

PS.. Olaf - linux-alert, and linux-security both tag
    their subject lines.  And they're both @redhat.
