Sigh.

It is the same message, addressed To/Cc: you and/or the list, no matter which
one is delivered first.  So just put all list(+private) filtering before
personal filtering.

E.g.,

    # filter duplicate-message delivery; see procmailex
    # "The more you know."
    :0 Wh: msgid.lock
    | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

    :0 He
    * ^(to|from|cc):.*gentoo-dev
    lists/gentoo-dev/

    # other public mailing lists (more general, least specific)

    # other private filters      (less general, most specific)

    # some might call the following 'inbox'...
    :0
    otherwise-unfiltered/
