Allow declaring reviewers from keywords

[operte]

Imagine if I have a long list of contributors or I don't want to set the same default reviewers all the time but I also don't want to type their emails out when declaring the reviewers.

An idea is to allow the user to define a list of contributors on the doing-cli config file, so a keyword (like the first name of the contributor) and its email address:

john: john.doe@email.net
jane: jane.doe@webmail.org

So then I could do doing create pr --reviewers john jane

What do you think? Does it sound useful?

Really good idea!

So something like:

# .doing-cli-config.yml
# ... other settings ....
aliases:
    - john: john.doe@email.net
    - jane: jane.doe@webmail.org

Would allow you to use the aliases in both reviewers and assignees:

• doing create pr --reviewers 'john jane'. it needs a string because --reviewers takes a single option. doing would expand the string to 'john.doe@email.net jane.doe@webmail.org' before passing it to the az devops cli.
• doing create issue "an issue" -a john

It would have to work with default_reviewers as well.

Thoughts? And, do you want to work on the PR or shall I pick it up? :)

@operte any feedback on the synax for aliases?

Your idea sounds good to me.
We can scan the string of reviewers and if the individual elements don't include an @ in them, then we search for matches in .doing-cli-config.yaml#aliases. I like that :)

I don't think I'll be able to work on this for the next couple of weeks, though, so if you want to go ahead, that's fine with me :)
