I see that the mailing lists are following RFC 2369 (which is the basis
for Cloos' procmail recipe). Can we get a tweak to the ezmlm software to
insert a List-Id header, per this draft:

    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chandhok-listid-04.txt

That would be "the best way" to identify a list for filtering.

p.s. Mailman has adopted that header already... let's see if we can push
some other MLMs into it... :-)
