This patch looks good to me. 

Although the test and the implementation in the next patches look OK, I'd
prefer the FLAG implementation Jani suggested earlier. IMO now that I
compare these two it looks cleaner and simpler...

I.e. I'd prefer notmuch search --output=sender --output=recipients ...
(same output regardless the order these options given).

I'd postpone the unique handling to a bit later phase; there are quite a
few options how to do that (*)

(*) IMO the default unique (when requested) would be exact case-sensitive
match of full name & address parts (phrase, address & comment); then
(a subset of possible) options could be: 
   +) case-insensitive (first match taken (or last match?) -- option?)
   +) unique email addresses (take phrase/comment from first/last?)
      --  or use first that has something additional to plain address
      --  or use last  that has something additional to plain address
