notmuch users: how do you filter debbugs?

[ng0]

Let's say you use notmuch as your Email sorting system, and you are
subscribed to more than one projects -bug@gnu.org, how do you filter
them? Currently it all ends up in inbox because they can't be
categorized, which is annoying for me. It's all debbugs@gnu.org for
me. Is there some other value I can look for to sort them?

I highly recommend the emacs-debbugs package if you use Emacs.

I second the use of emacs-debbugs.  It’s a reasonably convenient
interface albeit not entirely intuitive.

But the email still ends up in my inbox, and as I filter through tags,
I'd like to be able to throw guix related things into tag:guix::bug.
Recommending to use another interface doesn't fix this problem.

Notmuch should be able to filter by list.  With mu4e I match for
“list:bug-guix.gnu.org”.  All emails to the bug-* lists contain a header
for “List-Id”, which you may be able to match on.

You would expect it is easy, but it's not:

The notmuch email list reminded me to read the faq again.

I'm just getting started setting up to use notmuch (your message
attracted my attention to it!) but looks like the afew script is
designed to do this, as a companion processer ("initial tagging") for
notmuch.

https://github.com/teythoon/afew

That and other initial tagging strategies are described here: https://notmuchmail.org/initial_tagging/

Google round to see how others have used it in their setup.

I actually have that as a work in progress package, but I can no longer
work on it.. if I really do have it, there might be further dependencies
which are needed or a massive amount of tests which need to be patched.
Are you interested in taking this over?

> That and other initial tagging strategies are described here: https://notmuchmail.org/initial_tagging/

So the name initial tagging is just wrong? I did not do this when I
started using notmuch because I have my own 'wrapper' around what gets
my mail and notmuch... mail comes in, inbox tag gets removed, tags
according to list/person/organisation get applied, emacs view of notmuch
is setup to show the tags and searches.

If I may ask, what kind of mail writer/reader do you use which produces
this really nice addition of initials between the quote chars?

This is what the email says:

    User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.5 (gnu/linux)
