You'll still have the same problem here; patchwork needs to know about the 
project before it will parse patches for that project.

My only concern is the impresicion of using the list address; it'd be common 
to send a patch to mulitple lists. If patchwork is configured for both lists, 
we'll end up with a dropped patch on the non-matched list.

We could work-around this with handling multiple 'parses' per incoming email, 
but we'd need to be careful about avoiding duplicates here.

Also, if this was configurable (PATCHWORK_FALLBACK_TO_LISTEMAIL perhaps?), I'd 
be much happier :)

Cheers,


Jeremy
