You can add a "post-new" hook which does this. Assuming you are use
"waiting" as the special tag and notmuch's default "new" tag this could work
for you:

  notmuch tag -waiting -- tag:waiting and 'thread:{tag:new}'

Just ensure you are clearing out the new tag to get the correct
behaviour. For example by running "notmuch tag -new -- tag:new" at the
end of your post-new hook.
