I don't think we have any plans to do that. However, assuming you use
emacs frontend (and/or the command line) then notmuch works very well
over ssh. See http://notmuchmail.org/remoteusage/

Several of the notmuch developers (including me) use this so although it
is not guaranteed to work correctly, in practice it seems to work pretty
well.
