Yes. What I do is have a configuration file in which I have all my
lists and this is used to autogenerate the required subscribe and
other mutt configuration.  The same file is used by a Python script
that routes incoming list mail to separate mailboxes.

Thus adding a new list all I have to do is add a line to my
configuration file.
