Never thought about it honestly, I've just been using for sometime now
and I'm quite happy with the results.

Well, such programs should live in their own repositories. One big git
repository with everything in it is just against the idea of distributed
source control management imo.

We can think about this when the tool gets enough testing in my opinion.
At this stage I don't think it's worth the hassle to include the
functionality into the notmuch binary itself, but this is my personal
opinion and I don't really know how many people in the outer-space uses
this program.

+1, but I won't be writing any documentation since I'm a mighty slacker.
