Personally, I'm only interested in commits by myself, Telsa and Rhys,
and have Procmail throw away other commit traffic:

:0:
* X-BeenThere: cvs-commits-list gnome org
* Subject:.*(telsa|rhysj|daf)$
gnome-cvs-commits/

:0:
* X-BeenThere: cvs-commits-list gnome org
/dev/null

This depends on the fact that the CVS username of the committer is at
the end of the subject line. You could have similar patters to match on
the CVS module.

You could replace "/dev/null" with "gnome-cvs-commits-low-priority" or
something.
