Most threads that are specific to a certain module are labeled accordingly, and the spec boilerplate asks everyone to do so. That’s much more helpful than, for instance, the simplistic “[whatwg]” the WHATWG list automatically adds to every message. GNU Mailman supports “topics” generated from the Subject or Keywords headers <http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/node29.html>, e.g. by matching them to such tags. Each subscriber can then choose the topics to receive instead of filtering threads locally (which is what I and probably many others do currently). I assume other mailing list software offers similar thematic opt-in or opt-out mechanisms, but I don’t know about the one the W3C uses.
