Yeah that would be ideal.  Franz and I have been working in a github repo here:

https://github.com/imain/notmuch-vim

There are a huge number of changes from what is in the notmuch tree though.
The idea of splitting out the patches and getting them in here is a bit
daunting but we could certainly try.  We also really wanted to refactor the
code but the pace has slowed now; probably because the client is very usable as
it is :).

Let me know what you think of the code base and if you are willing to help out
with merging the changes (lots of reviews I think mostly).
