Actually, using the old google groups web interface there was a very
nice UI where you could subscribe to groups and receive all the new
mails in your inbox. You could even subscribe to receive the mails in an
address other than your @gmail.com one. 

In order to get them fancy-split, I'm still using this rule here:

("list-id" ".*<\\(.+\\)\\.googlegroups\\.com>.*" "mail.gg.\\1")

That's the method I used to subscribe to some google groups, however I
remember some difficulty on how to subscribe by mail to groups using
there new UI blabla.
