As one who has commented on this thread earlier, I would like to mention that
I don't feel at all strongly about it and I would be comfortable with either
of the above solutions.
I personally prefer to receive those messages; I use Procmail to make sure
that all mail from this list lands in the appropriate folder, and then I read
the bug reports and package uploads that interest me, in addition to the
general discussion.
A recipe such as the following should work:
:0:
* ^List-Id.*debian-accessibility
debian-accessibility/
Remove the trailing / from the last line if you aren't using maildir folders.
I'm not a Procmail expert; there's probably a more elegant solution, but this
one is known to work. Note that you can't simply use TO_ to match the
messages, since it fails to match some of the bug tracker mail, but matching
on List-Id is successful as this header is carried in all messages distributed
via the list.
