Untested:

(setq nnmail-split-fancy
  '(|
    (to "writers@foo\\.edu"
     (|
      (&
       ("subject" "SUB" "list.writers.sub")
       ("subject" "FILL" "list.writers.fill"))
      "list.writers.misc"))
    "misc"))

That is, if the To:, Cc:, etc. header contains the writers list, then
send it to the all of list.writers.sub and list.writers.fill if
appropriate, or list.writers.misc otherwise.  If it doesn't go to the
writers list, file under "misc".  You could flatten this by a level if
you only wanted the first SUB, FILL, etc.
