MH folders are triviality itself:

  One file per message.

  File names are digit strings, incrementing with each new message.

It is, literally, that simple.

MH then adds various layering concepts like sequences files, but in
general they don't apply to Mailman's interests (they essentially
provide things like seen/unseen and abstracted views).
