I assume you're talking about web-based interfaces that have gateways
to email, that produce inboxes like this:

I call that pretending to have my cake, rather than having it. :)

Maybe some day someone will prove me wrong and make a nice web-based
tool that I don't even need to know about that mines project mailing
lists.  If I have to tweak my subject lines a little to help it out,
that's fine with me.  I think patchwork is supposed to work this way.

But unless we're talking about splitting the mailing list into a bunch
of mini mailing lists (like some bug trackers do), it doesn't change
anything fundamental, so I'm not sure why we're discussing this.

Ciao,
Jonathan
