Easy enough:

  :0:
  * List-Id:[^<]+<\/freebsd-[^.]
  $MATCH

This will store each list in a folder prefixed by "freebsd-".  If you
want freebsd-questions to be stored in a folder named "questions", just
move the \/ (which marks the beginning of the MATCH variable) to after
the "freebsd-".

And if you want it to support other RFC2919-compliant lists (that is,
ones which include the "List-Id:" header), simply remove "freebsd-" from
the recipe.
