And I'm also thinking extindexing coderepos can make
auto-assocation with inboxes possible.

Right now, configuring coderepos on a large scale is a huge PITA
given the M:N associations between inboxes and coderepos.

Being able to do fuzzy JOIN-ish operations based on
blobs/filenames/subjects would allow extindex to automatically
associate coderepos with inboxes and vice-versa.
