+Hi all,\r
+\r
+I have the following idea for a new feature. I'd implement it myself, but I\r
+wanted to ask the list first, whether something like this would have a chan=\r
+ce to\r
+go into mainline (given that it is implemented cleanly, well documented etc=\r
+.)\r
+or if people wouldn't like it at all.\r
+\r
+I suggest to add a new output format, namely something like OUTPUT_AUTHORS.=\r
+ It\r
+would for a given query return a list of all authors found in the messages =\r
+and\r
+the number of messages they have.\r
+\r
+With that notmuch could be used for something I call a "people centric view=\r
+".\r
+That should give the user the possibility to sort its mail by authors. I - =\r
+for\r
+example - mainly communicate with only a couple of persons. If I'd have a v=\r
+iew\r
+showing me these persons on top would be very handy. That way I'd be able to\r
+fast start a new conversation with my main conversation-partners, see e.g. =\r
+all\r
+threads I had with them or see all attachments I've got from them.\r
+\r
+One could argue that a search to "from:<NAME>" would do it, but that way my\r
+notmuch client isn't able to render such a view automatically, since no\r
+information about all authors can be retrieved (at least not easily). So I'd\r
+have to search for each name manually.\r
+\r
+One could also argue that tagging each mail by the authors name would do the\r
+trick. This is probably true, but would also mix tags and authors in an unc=\r
+lean\r
+way, I'd say. I'd need to add a tag for every new person I mail to and woul=\r
+d add\r
+a tag to mail with information, which is already saved in the from field.\r
+\r
+An authors output format would not add redundant information to a mail, wou=\r
+ld be\r
+relatively easy to implement and I would find a people centric view - which\r
+doesn't interfere with any other concept of notmuch - very worth the couple=\r
+ of\r
+new lines of code.\r
+\r
+What would you say?\r
+\r
+Best,\r
+Johannes\r
+\r
+(Since I'm new to the list: Hello to all. I'm using notmuch with alot as cl=\r
+ient\r
+for a couple of years now and very happy with it. I did some minor contribu=\r
+tions\r
+to alot so far. Apart from that I'm Ph.D. student in computer science and do\r
+research about machine learning and robotics topics)\r
