FWIW, I see very few other mailing lists mangle the Subject field the
way openwrt-devel used to do it. I have no say in these things, but I
personally prefer it this way.

I can't speak for any of that, but it does seem like the change
started around June 21, which happens to be the same weekend when the
machine that hosts the mailing list seems to have gone down with disk
failure:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2020-June/081081.html

I expect the mailing list configuration must have been reset too.

So in other words, the change may simply be an accident?

Regards,
Brian
