I guess it's a bit late at this point, but in theory keeping the same
List-Id headers as before may help with how many people have to
change their filters.
Using lists.postgresql.org as the new domain was explained
in the announce, but it's not clear why List-Id had to follow
the other List-* fields.
Unless it was the reason mentioned in the last sentence below.
Quoting RFC-2919:
4. Persistence of List Identifiers
Although the list identifier MAY be changed by the mailing list administrator this is not desirable. (Note that
thereis no disadvantage to changing the description portion of the List-Id header.) A MUA may not recognize the
changeto the list identifier because the MUA SHOULD treat a different list identifier as a different list. As such
themailing list administrator SHOULD avoid changing the list identifier even when the host serving the list changes.
Onthe other hand, transitioning from an informal unmanaged-list-id-namespace to a domain namespace is an acceptable
reasonto change the list identifier.
