You can do this even with this patch.

This is allowed in notmuch address. This patch modifies only notmuch
search. Currently it makes no sense to run --output=files --output=tags
or other output combinations.

Does this comment refer to 7/10 or to 6/10?

I'd say it refers to the following line from 6/10.

search_context.output = OUTPUT_SENDER | OUTPUT_RECIPIENTS;

Even there you can override the default by command line option. This get
executed only if no --output appears on the command line.

Thanks
