Since I use procmail for local filtering, I put comments in .procmailrc which are converted via cronjob and shell to a mutt config file and committed to a git repository.

Sounds like the better approach on the face of it. Could you be a
little more specific?

I have lines like these in .procmailrc:

  #subscribe mutt-users@xxxxxxxx
  #list mutt-users@xxxxxxxxx
  :0
  * ^Sender: owner-mutt-users@mutt\.org
  IN.mutt-users/

  #subscribe mutt-dev@xxxxxxxx
  #list mutt-dev@xxxxxxxxx
  :0
  * ^Sender: owner-mutt-dev@mutt\.org
  IN.mutt-dev/

and then do:

  $ grep -E '^#(subscribe|list)' ~/.procmailrc | sed 's/^.//' > 
/path/to/mutt.lists

in a shell script from cron. My ~/.muttrc contains, of course:

  source /path/to/mutt.lists

That way I don't ever forget to update configs for removed/added lists as it's done all in one place.

  bye, Rocco
