I am looking to build a archive for a mailing list. I imagine a thread to become a topic, email addresses being replaced with usernames if a matching account exists. Can the Email-In feature be used to “ingest” a mailing list this way?

Can Email-In be used to "ingest" a mailing list?

Yes, that feature has landed. You can read more about it in Creating a read-only mailing list mirror.
