i love the idea, but it's a little unrealistic.  very few people use the [] tags.

if you look at the vox-outreach list rules, *every* email to the list
needs to have a tag identifying which project the post is about so
people involved with project A don't need to wade through project B.
i can't think of anybody who does that.

very few people use [OT] on vox too.

here are my thoughts:

1. ALL job postings go to vox-jobs.

2. we deicde whether we want non-linux related jobs on vox-jobs or not
(personally, i'm abivalent to the issue, but i can certainly understand
both sides of the argument).


i say we keep away from tagging the subject lines, since it'll become a
rule that's "cruft" within a week or two.
