Thanks, I don't really care about who owns the copyright as long as it's
open source but I'll change it if that's what Carl wishes.

Sure, I didn't know much about the coding style and as you said there's
no document about it in notmuch's repository.

Nope, it's good coding practise to free all resources before exit, I
didn't do it for config because neither the search command does it.
I'll send an updated patch soonish and I'll also send a separate patch
