Thanks for sharing, I am very much looking forward to using that. This
is one more selling point for notmuch :-). Glad the python bindings were
of some use and I am willing to take improvement requests, if you find
some peculiarities in them.

I really look forward to integrate bbdb and notmuch addresses...

That reminds me that there is still no installation tool for cnotmuch at
all. I'll have to have a look into that.

Silly question: How do I byte-compile stuff for emacs? I am a helpless noob when there
is no make install-emacs command. :-)

Will report back if it works. If yes, this is definitely stuff for the
notmuch help wiki.
