Actually, I don't think that's true.  Notmuch will only return threads
that contain individual messages that satisfy the given search term.  I
actually just verified this to make sure.

We could just have a notmuch::resolved tag, which would make that easy.
The we could have additional tags to indicate how it was resolved, if
necessary.

But honestly I really think that for most effectiveness we should keep
the tag space as small as possible.  I think this is going to be
basically impossible, and that things are going to get confusing quickly
(I think this is one of the problems with tagging in general) but I
still think we should try.
