I don't have the problem you're describing here. I've got a gmail 
account but I use Thunderbird for my mail client since filtering and 
foldering the dev ML in gmail is a nightmare, at least since I was 
already used to Thunderbird for another IMAP account already.

So yeah I've got lots of folders, and filters, but have sorted my 
filters such that the projects I care about the most get priority. So if 
there is a thread with several project tags on it, like the one you did 
for the nova-compute API session at the PTG, that still all just goes 
into my nova folder since that's priority #1 in my sort list in Thunderbird.

Over the years I tried to keep up with new folders for new 
tags/projects, but with the big tent that got impossible, so now I 
basically filter into folders the projects I really care about being on 
top of, and then the rest just goes into my default "openstack-dev" 
folder. If I find that I'm constantly missing something with a given 
tag, then I start filtering that into a new folder that's prioritized 
higher.
