git-config(1)-friendly variant for that.

"mainrepo" remains supported indefinitely for compatibility.

- Lookup in the configuration which mailbox is connected to that
  "List-ID:"
- Deliver the mail to that mailbox.

To that end this change enhances PublicInbox to have an additional
mailbox configuration parameter "listid" that holds the mailing list
name.

A method is added to the PublicInbox config object called
lookup_list_id that given a mailing list name will return the
PublicInbox in the configuration that is configured to handle that
