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 :)
