Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainer: Add ability to skip moderated mailing lists

Add a command line switch --no-moderated to skip L: mailing
lists marked with 'moderated'.

Some people prefer not emailing moderated mailing lists as
the moderation time can be indeterminate and some emails
can be intentionally dropped by a moderator.

This can cause fragmentation of email threads when some are
subscribed to a moderated list but others are not and emails
are dropped.
