Hi. I think this is a neat idea. However, it has be wondering: would it be possible to just extend the notmuch database itself to support this? Could notmuch just index all the email addresses in such a way that they would be easily retrievable? Maybe through an "addresses" sub command or something? Obviously having notmuch handle this functionality natively would get rid of the need to reinvent a lot of the stuff you're trying to reinvent now (such as "notmuch new"). jamie.
