+I rolled patches for this in the past, see the following message:\r
+\r
+id:"1310874973-28437-1-git-send-email-anarcat@koumbit.org"\r
+id:"1310874973-28437-2-git-send-email-anarcat@koumbit.org"\r
+\r
+They were indeed refused by the community, but I felt they were still\r
+useful.\r
+\r
+I do not use those patches nowadays, however, but to me they would fit\r
+in a broader architectural view of notmuch, where tags are not only\r
+metadata sitting outside of your email, but is also written to the\r
+messages themselves.\r
+\r
+The idea is that you can then run notmuch from multiple places without\r
+having to worry about synchronising your tags manually: the tags would\r
+sit in the messages themselves.\r
