A general utility or set of utilities for operating on mbox files  
would be useful here. Something like this:

	mboxfilter 'Subject: *\[PATCH*\]*' < mbox | hg import --mbox -

(One could specify multiple header patterns, which the program would  
join with AND.)

I'd be surprised if such a utility doesn't already exist. Of course,  
creating one should probably be separate from the Mercurial project.

I did find this program, which could serve as a start:
