I would argue that maildir-tagging and basic notmuch new tagging could be
orthogonal. I think maildir flag tagging should be handled completely by the
maildir mail store backend. I could be wrong though.

In fact, now that I think of it, perhaps this patch's functionality belongs in
the mail store backend as well. I haven't tried your patchset, but it looks
like it would be trivial to add this as a mailstore option.
