What a fascinating idea... although you are making part of the mail
headers effectively executable although with some cleaning up... you
need to be very careful you don't break things such that a carefully
crafted message can write whether the author wishes...

Maybe something on the lines of (for list-id & x-mailing-list):-

   if $header_list-id: matches "<([a-z0-9-]+)\\\\." then
    save Maildir/list.$1/
   elif $header_x-mailing-list:  matches "([a-z0-9-]+)" then
    save Maildir/list.$1/
....


I might look at reducing the size of my filter by a factor of 100 or
so...
