Rather than adding the testers@domain.tld to the zubscriber file 
for the coders list, why not change your alias for coders-outgoing
to :include:~majordomo/lists/testers, :include:~majordomo/lists/coders?
The order of the includes is not important.  As long as the message
is not being sent back through resend at another address, there should
only be the one subject prefix.  In this case, [coders].
