Description
As of right now, list results look like this:
$ mas list
441258766 Magnet (1.9.13)
992076693 MindNode (2.4.3)
443987910 1Password (6.3.5)
489094439 iTeleport (6.1.8)
I think list results should display the purchased account of an app as well, like this:
$ mas list
441258766 daekwon.kang@gmail.com Magnet (1.9.13)
992076693 daekwon.kang@gmail.com MindNode (2.4.3)
443987910 daekwon.kang+ikr@gmail.com 1Password (6.3.5)
489094439 daekwon.kang+ikr@gmail.com iTeleport (6.1.8)

Research direction
Start at the mas list command and trace how each app's displayed metadata is assembled. Determine how the purchased account can be identified, then verify the output against the two-account examples in the issue; done means each listed app shows the account that purchased it.
