This list isn't only for en.wp, Nemo.
That's quite my point. :)
Well, given that topic areas isn't enabled on WMF lists generally
speaking, and would be dependent on the correspondents using the exact
phrase in the topic area, I don't see much reason for doing this. Perhaps
you can filter it out from your end?

This is, generally speaking, a very low volume list. It's also a list that
has a significant number of people on it who are unlikely to reliably tag
their posts (hell, I'm unlikely to reliably tag my posts by topic area.)
And, as Risker pointed out, I think we'd be the first WMF list doing this.
I may turn on topic filtering and forcibly change a subject header to make
it work the next time there's a gigantic thread about a particular topic so
that people can opt out of the giant messy threads that come up from time
to time, but topic filtering before that seems both ineffective (in that
most people won't tag their topics properly, and we certainly won't stop
them from participating on the list for doing so) and like a lot of work
(for those who actually tag their topics.) Deleting an email takes like
half a second - deleting all emails about the English Wikipedia sent to
this list in any given month, discounting the giant messy threads, probably
takes something like a whole minute, heh.
