Yep, why not try the [FC1] or [FC2] at the beginning of the subject line?
It is something I often use on forums and even new comers quickly start to use that way of doing when seeing al the thread starting with that.
Furthermore, it is quick then people would not be anoyed to do

I don't know if it is possbile to know to what is due to... Lots of persons might post it thinking it FC
 related when it's not....

It could be good if such thing could come automatically in all the signatures, but if people have to cat fedora-release I do not know if much person will take time, nor think about it.
I'm not a real newbie, I have been using Linux for over 2 years now, but I only discovered the cat command 2 months ago...
