The procmail recipe would mark a reply as:
[Dovecot] Re: Mailing List

UNLESS you replied to it.  Then your MUA would prepend the [Dovecot]  
with Re: just like it does now.

So it wouldn't be exactly the same.  You'd have to figure out how to  
insert text... It's just getting bigger and uglier - though I'm sure  
some expert could trim it...  also untested...

:0 fhw
* ^List-Id:.*Dovecot Mailing List
{
   :0 fhw
   * !^Subject:.*\[Dovecot\]
   {
       :0 fhw
       * ^Subject: Re:\/.*
       {
          :0 fhw
          * ^Subject:\/.*
          | formail -I "Subject: Re: [Dovecot] $MATCH"
       }
       :0 fhw
       * !^Subject: Re:\/.*
       {
          :0 fhw
          * ^Subject:\/.*
          | formail -I "Subject: [Dovecot] $MATCH"
       }
   }
}
