In Cyrus it is an actual feature, see the (first) FAQ[1] entry about
Duplicate Delivery Surpression; in imapd.conf you can do
duplicatesuppression: 1
to enable this. It might be that because this is an actual feature that
the extension isn't implemented; unpacking the source tarball, then
insensitive case grepping for 'dupl', I only find the above feature.

The procmail filter we have neatly does this by checking the List-Id
header; maybe this can be mimicked in a Sieve rule, the rule is simple.

It's possible to stay subscribed with strict filtering, its
reading volume to me is in terms of unread mail currently 5 times as
much as this ML; however, I scroll more through the mails there than I
do here which makes the effort to process both nearly equal.
With a higher amount of mailing lists to follow I don't keep a list of
exceptions; and therefore, to keep it simple, do the same everywhere.
Information overflow stays manageable for me if I keep things simple;
if I however would start to add manual matching techniques to that, it
would become much more unmanageable as instead of being effective I
suddenly start doing something what our software is supposed to do.

As said above, I could put this on a list; but I'll forget about it.

That is only so if you expect and/or are aware of the reply.

Not much has changed since then; and thus, it is still recent enough.

It is quite effective.

On this world, this list (where people that I can count on my fingers
insist on not being CC-ed) is a minority.
Regardless of both being a minority, they'll continue to be present.
