No, But I do read every email subject, and most patch messages. Only those subjects I know for sure I have no interest in I do delete right away.
And being a human I sometimes screw up and let something I should have paid attention fall through the cracks. When that happens I simply fix the issue after the fact and send a patch, and then life goes on.
If you don't want to actually follow the mailing list traffic, you can at least filter it by flagging those messages that contain a patch which touches one of those files you do care about.
