(Dopey me, while I was writing this I was looking at the groups file
directly, and had it locked up.  I should just use the web tools like
everyone else does.)

Nothing.  You make the list tag part of the subject tag.  I didn't want to
force anyone into anything, so I let the subtopic tags be completely
unrelated to the main tag if you want them to be.

Lynn's list, for instance, really looks like three (or four, or whatever
you're up to now) different lists, because only the main list says
7thorder on it.  Here on listowners, I have things kind of mixed:

LO:         is the main list
LO: README! is the announcement list
LO: [Web]   is the web editing stuff (which is never used anymore, and I
            should kill it

But the "unofficial" subtopics are just
Chat>       chat stuff
Req>        new game requests

That way, you can sort on LO: if you want all the official stuff in one
folder.

This sort of gets addressed in the help file at
http://www.phoenyx.net/help/mod_topics.html

   The "Topic Tag" column is the subject tag (as seen in the main group
   configurator). Unless it's left blank, it will override the default
   group tag. You may want to make it repeat the default group tag - e.g.
   if "[GR]" is the default, the example subtopic could be "[GR] Ex>". In
   the above table, the subject tag will be only "Ex>".

That might need reworded for clarity.
