Would they be useful?

It's not currently possible to quickly search for whether or not
a term (e.g. patchid:) is present in a Xapian document.  Having
the ability to do so would make it easier to find non-patch messages,
or easily filter down to cover letters, bot replies, etc...

Thus adding Xapian terms is probably necessary for that.

replycount would be useful for implementing search for
ANSWERED/UNANSWERED in IMAP.  However, proper indexing/reindex
could be a PITA due to out-of-order message reception.

I don't think any of these would be required to get "lei rediff"
working on entire patchsets, though (it only does individual
messages, currently).
