A bit obscure for laypersons, but one can compute the message_id_hash from the Message-ID

from base64 import b32encode
from hashlib import sha1

def get_message_id_hash(msg_id):
return b32encode(sha1(msg_id).digest()).decode()

Actually, that should be

return b32encode(sha1(msg_id.encode()).digest()).decode()

as sha1 wants bytes. I actually made a very simple command lime converter for myself

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from base64 import b32encode
from hashlib import sha1

print(b32encode(sha1(sys.argv[1].encode()).digest()).decode())

This is great to know. I assume the thread ID is generated the same way?

The thread ID is the message_id_hash of the first message in the thread, so yes.
