Yep; configuration options are read-only through REST because they are specified in the mailman.cfg file.  You wouldn’t want to (and probably even can’t) allow REST clients to change things that aren’t kept in the database.

Per-list configurations are maintained in the database, configuration files (e.g. mailman.cfg) configure site-wide static settings.  That’s because lists are dynamic; they can be created, deleted, and modified.  But your plugin should be able to create its own tables and cross reference the mailing list tables (via the SQLAlchemy ORM).

Static configurations can be added to a [plugins.autocrypt] section, or better a separate autocrypt.cfg file, much like the way we separate out the postfix.cfg settings.
