Procmail's TO_ macro will parse both the To and Cc headers. In other words:

 :0					# If using mbox, change to ':0:'
 * ^TO_ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com
 DestinationFolder			# Change to your desired destination

Note that '^TO_' is in all uppercase. It must be typed exactly as it appears 
here. This will sort all mails from the Ubuntu Users list (whether it was 
CC'd or the only recipient) into DestinationFolder.

'^TO_' is a predefined macro in Procmail that will parse any destination 
header (To:, CC:, etc.) for the defined string.

If you have your heart set on sorting by List-Id, try the following:

 :0					# If using mbox, change to ':0:'
 * ^List-Id.*ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com
 DestinationFolder			# Change to your desired destination

That should sort this list into DestinationFolder.
