I think that "List" is not a good idea.

Intermixing mailing list email addresses and URLs seems
odd and inconsistent.

Maybe there could be something like the "T:" and "S:"
entries where some additional qualifier is used for the
specific type of bug reporting.

Make it a proper URI, allowing mailto:<listname@domain>
or http://bugzilla.org/i915/ or anything else that people
may come up with in future :)
