I figured as much, but we do want to set extra keys *and* write the config in
a certain order (e.g. prioritizing some sources over others by listing them
first). I currently do this via a list-id globbing match (e.g.
--listid-priority=*.linux.dev,*.kernel.org,*).

Apropos, question -- will public-inbox-init do anything to the config file if
it finds that all the settings are already in place, or will it just accept
them?
