\r
66 For me it's a bit odd to have a man page for a tool we don't install by
\r
67 default. Is it maybe time to "promote" nmbug-status to the notmuch-
\r
68 namespace and install it by default? That would have to be somehow tied
\r
69 to installing the python bindings; or else the script could just print a
\r
70 helpful error message if the bindings are not found.
\r
72 This would also allow addressing Tomi's comment about testing, by adding
\r
73 a couple of tests to the test suite.
