>From about 10 mailing lists I'm subscribed to (nginx, memcached, 
mercurial, various freebsd lists, ...) only nginx-announce@ and 
nginx-ru-announce@ has prefix added.  So from my point of view 
prefix isn't something common, and mostly used for low-traffic 
lists.

Overral I don't think that adding a prefix for nginx@ (nginx-ru@, 
nginx-devel@) will make me happy.
