I assume you're referring to Dmitry's search widget patch ?

The only role I played in it (apart from signing off on it) was
that of commit message theft provoker :D.

AFAIC, it's ripe for inclusion:
- id:"1309768024-14584-1-git-send-email-dmitry.kurochkin@gmail.com"

It's coming along nicely, mostly a case of dotting the i's,
though I'm holding off on sending my new patch series until my
bad attempt at a regexp is fixed:

- id:"1310307099-25197-1-git-send-email-pieter@praet.org"

Everyone's welcome to come point and laugh *but* the entrance
fee to the party is a *consistently* working regexp. ;)

Also, this patch series is a prerequisite:

- id:"1310313335-4159-1-git-send-email-pieter@praet.org"

I'll be taking a look at the rest when I find some more time.

Meanwhile, I'd like to push these excellent patches for inclusion:

- [PATCH 4/5] Add notmuch-hook. Called when notmuch is started, before notmuch-hello buffer is created.
  - id:"1278000507-22290-5-git-send-email-dmitry.kurochkin@gmail.com"
- [PATCH 5/5] Add notmuch-hello-hook. Called every time notmuch-hello buffer is updated.
  - id:"1278000507-22290-6-git-send-email-dmitry.kurochkin@gmail.com"
- [PATCH v2] emacs: Turn id:"<message-id>" elements into buttons for notmuch searches
  - id:"1309961881-28333-2-git-send-email-daniel.schoepe@googlemail.com"
