Yes I have a filter rul set up for that, although its so long ago I'll
need to dig to find out how! but...

Have you looked at gmane? It turns mailing lists into news feeds
and Thunderbird is a fully fledged usenet reader so you just need
to set up a new list with the server pointing at news.gmane.io

Saves creating rules and you can read all the other Python,
(and other language) lists all in the one place. I monitor Python,
Smalltalk, Java, Javascript and C++ lists - all via gmane in Thunderbird.

Yep, gmane thinks so too...
