+I don't what to think about this. The convention I am familiar with
+for date ranges is roughly that documented here:
+
+    https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html
+
+The tl;dr is that the years or ranges document the last significant
+change.
+
+On the other hand, I'd say most notmuch code has the copyright date
+it is created, and that is never changed.
+
+So I'd say go with creation date, or some actual date ranges that we
+will probably forget to update.
+
+OK, I agree it's nit picky. But it's a nit picky patch ;).
