I work off the envelope sender, but you can adapt it.  Maildrop gives
you subexpression matches.

if($RETPATH =~ /^<owner-freebsd-([^@]+)/)
    to $MBOXDIR/f-$MATCH1

(of course, the cvs list ends up having to be special cased)


So you'd just match the List-ID header similarly, something like

if(/^List-ID: freebsd-([a-z]+).freebsd.org/)
    to FreeBSD/$MATCH1

(totally untested of course...)
