I use 'f-<list>' named folder.  Change the following (part of larger recipes)
as you desire...

  #  get list id
  :0
  * ^List-ID:[    ]*.*\/<[a-z]+.*>
  { list_id = "$MATCH" }

  #  identify other lists on different criteria

  #  based on $list_id, assign $list
  #  ----
  list=
  #  freebsd lists
  :0
  * list_id  ??  ()<\/[a-z]+[-.a-z]+freebsd\.org>
  {
    #  consider -gnats-submit list same as -bugs, but not -ports-bugs
    :0
    * list_id  ??  ()(ports-bugs|cvs-ports)
    { list = f-ports }

      :0 E
      * list_id  ??  ()(gnats-submit|bugs)
      { list = f-bugs }

      #  most interesting freebsd mailing lists
      :0 E
      * MATCH  ??  ()\/(stable|ppc|cvs|mobile|questions|ports|java)
      { list = "f-${MATCH}" }

      #  dafault $list for/from any freebsd list
      :0 E
      { list = f-misc }
  }

  #  do other things

  #  file message
  :0:
  * list  ??  ^^f-[a-z]+^^
  $list
