Hi Tomi,

I don't really get what are you trying to say. Do you mean that
notmuch-message-replied-tags is referenced from notmuch-lib.el without
(require 'notmuch-message)? I'm not sure whether it is required, but it
works here without problems.

Running M-x customize-variable RET notmuch-message-replied-tags RET
shows the following. Note that both groups are mentioned at the bottom.
No warning or errors are produced.

   Tags to be automatically added to or removed from a message when it is replied to. Hide   
   Any tag in the list will be added to a replied message or,
   if it is prefaced with a "-", removed.
   
   For example, if you wanted to add a "replied" tag and remove
   the "inbox" and "todo", you would set
       ("replied" "-inbox" "-todo")
