First of all, thanks for the great work Carl. I have to admit I was
getting nervous about the backlog of patches, but your recent committing
binge (you did say your work patterns are bursty :-)) made me very happy.

That having said, I am glad to meet your expectation: "I expect people
 to remind me of their favorite features that haven't been merged..."
 :-)

One of the things I have seen no comment on yet, is the
"json_quote_str should handle non-ASCII characters" patch in 
id:1267697893-sup-4538 at sam.mediasupervision.de.

Right now, every char > 127 will simply be suppressed, this patch fixes
this for me but I cannot comment on its correctness. I rebased the patch
to current here:
http://github.com/spaetz/notmuch-all-feature/commit/3b5423fbdda5e78414e6f2e441cad5394173e155

Would that be an acceptable fix?

Also, as part of getting the useful backlog down, I propose these smallish
patches that are in my tree in the feature/misc branch (that I all grabbed from the mailing list):

* Add count command to manual page, Sandra Snan
  mail id:4ba29058.0f67f10a.2b59.1a73 at mx.google.com
  commit 2f5ea4c76dc9688b2520c8d64ac8617ba8a62f86
  (it was really missing)

* Fix typo in notmuch.h documentation regarding database open modes 
  mail id:1269628757-24857-1-git-send-email-michael at obberon.com
  michaelforney, comit 3262b39f58ab4865c0c0cada69955ad65fccdfd9
  (our beloved notmuch.h is WRONG!!! :-)

* Prevent data loss caused by SIGINT during notmuch new
  mail id:1269937403-8495-1-git-send-email-sojkam1 at fel.cvut.cz
  wentasah, commit dcb7a957027837f187f06d31fdcddb3740b2c20b
  (preventable data loss, has happened to him at least once)

* Do not segfault on empty mime parts, 
  mail id:1267543888-18134-1-git-send-email-madduck at madduck.net
  martin f. krafft, commit bb310c6397a94f6f59b6f93b232bedd833f96090
  (probably a bug in gmime, but we should not crash)

>   * Some library additions (move_to_first for the iterators,
+1!

All the rest souds very good.

Sebastian
