Grrr.. That 2nd-to-last paragraph should've read,
Now I do **NOT** have to tag anything to exclude. I can work out of
the Universal Inbox knowing that all the newsletters are already
excluded automatically.

Charlie -- I was the one who got you down the path of tagging incoming
mailing list messages in the first place. But something Max Rydahl
Andersen said got me considering a different, cleaner approach. I'm
not sure it will work for you, but here is what I did:
First, I created a new smart mailbox called "Universal Inbox." The
goal for the Universal Inbox is a place that I can work that isn't
cluttered by all my various newsletter subscriptions.
On the Universal Inbox I set its Mailboxes tab to a two-part "all"
condition:
* Condition 1 is the built-in "All Messages" mailbox. That brings in
every message from every server I use (Google, Business, Personal,
etc).
* Condition 2 of the compound is set to "None of the following
mailboxes" and here I list every other Smart Mailbox that I don't want
to see, like all my newsletter and the one I have to this MailMate
List.

Now I do have to tag anything to exclude. I can work out of the
Universal Inbox knowing that all the newsletters are already excluded
automatically.
Hope this might be helpful to you.

I think I've got this working for me. I've created some additional
smart mailboxes (Python, Web, etc.) and put the mailing lists I want
in these. I then set a rule for all mailing lists to be tagged as
Mailing List. Then I excluded the selected mailing lists from the
general mailing list mailbox. Then I set a condition for my accounts
and their inboxes to ignore anything tagged mailing list. I
initially tried setting the condition tags does not exist for the
inboxes but that didn't work as expected.
Okay, this doesn't work quite as expected. Once a new mail arrives on
a list, the list gets added to the general Mailing Lists folder but
does not appear in the dedicated mailbox. I can appreciate this is
because of the slightly circular logic and can work around it, but it
would be nice if something like this could be added.
