Having a wrapper script possible, however, it is quite a hack and
doesn't potentially collect everything. There's already a
.notmuch-config file, so adding a logging directive should be
straightforward. It's more about whether something like this becomes
part of notmuch directly.

I'm not worried about the size of the logfiles. Drives are large and
many utilities exist to create a rolling removal and compression of log
files.
