I couldn't get the tab completion to work, at least if I go

  M-x notmuch-show-resend-message

nor when evaluating (notmuch-address-from-minibuffer "foo:")

Do I need to bind a key to test this?

mutt uses 'b'. AFAICT, gnus uses some sequence ending in b to resend
bounced messages (i.e. from mailer-daemon).

quoting the manual:

S D b

    If you have sent a mail, but the mail was bounced back to you for
    some reason (wrong address, transient failure), you can use this
    command to resend that bounced mail
    (gnus-summary-resend-bounced-mail). [...]
    
S D r

    Not to be confused with the previous command,
    gnus-summary-resend-message will prompt you for an address to send
    the current message off to, and then send it to that place. [...]

Be that as it may, we already use 'r' for reply, and I'm not sure we
want to go (more) in the way of multi-letter sequences.
