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.
