At the same time, trying to write a Mutt save-hook to save just one or
two messages seems a little like overkill to me, too. :-)

Based on the same observations you made above, that "subject lines from
the various different mailing list servers aren't consistent", I prefer
to add the mailing list email address to Mutt's "subscribe" setting and
let Mutt come up with an appropriate mailbox filename. I then manually
save messages from the mailing list server software to the same mailbox.
