You can create notmuch specific rc file and use it by

    mutt -F ~/.muttrc-notmuch

Unfortunately, the latest package for Fedora is notmuch-0.5-4.fc15 ;-(

But I'm ready to accept patches to make it compatible with other
distros and the latest upstream.

Good question. It would be nice to merge the change into mutt upstream, 
but from my point of view the mutt upstream is not too active. The whole 
project seems in maintenance mode, I don't see any really active 
*development* there. We will see... it's probably too early to answer
the question.
