+Hi Johannes;
+
+I'm not sure I understand your goal completely here, but the obvious
+thing UI wise would be 
+
+  notmuch search --output=authors --format=(json|text|sexp)  $search_terms
+
+Perhaps you're already aware of this, but alot doesn't use the CLI, so
+that wouldn't be directly helpful to having a new view in alot.
