Why not ask you Gopher maintainer to link into you Listserv!
 
1) subscribe a "fake" e-mail address to listserv, such as
   [log in to unmask] ([log in to unmask])
 
2) on "some.unix.gopher.server" create an alias such as
   list.into.gopher:"|/usr/local/bin/some.script.you.write"
 
3) create /usr/local/bin/some.script.you.write such as
   #!/bin/sh
   UNIQUE=`date '+%y%m%d%H%M%S'`
   nawk '{print}' > /some.dir.of.gopher.data/$UNIQUE.txt
   SUBJECT=`grep "^Subject:" /some.dir.of.gopher.data/$UNIQUE \
            | head -1 | cut -d' ' -f2-`
   echo "Name=$SUBJECT" > /some.dir.of.gopher.data/.cap/$UNIQUE
 
4) pat yourself on the back, 'cause you're done unless you
   want to get really fancy...
