`notmuch address` should provide everything you want (bar the sorting):

`notmuch address --output=count --deduplicate=address date:2021 | sort -nr | head -n 10`

Leave out the dedup option if you want to distinguish senders by the
full mailbox address. And, of course, amend the query any way you want.
That's the beauty of notmuch's modular approach.
