I subscribe to every mailing list with a unique mailaddress. I then
forward the mail from there to one Maildir, so that all mail sits in a
single place. All mail got stamped by qmail with a "Delivered-To:"
header on the way, which I use to split them up again.

Below is an example splitting rule plus the parts of my Gnus setup
relating to mail handling.
