Meanwhile Jesse Rosenthal and I started chatting about, and Jesse
started implementing, some tools for grabbing remote collections of tags
and merging them into their own namespace.  This may give us a
notmuch-oriented way of managing the mailing list a bit better as a kind
of bug tracker. I don't want to promise things on Jesse's behalf, but I
personally am holding off on further bug tracker experiments until I see
how this works out.
