If you're interested: Sebastian (spaetz) is looking for
a replacement to fork on the python bindings to libnotmuch.
A rewrite in cython would be great.

I guess most of us use offlineimap or getmail in combination
with notmuch. And Debian is also popular choice afaik,
so you're in good company :)

It being offlineimap? dependss on your config but I have no trouble
with it.

Davd Bremner has been working on logging integration, which
is focused on enabling tag syncronization in future releases i believe.
Also check out nmbug, that uses git for notmuch bugtracking.

There are fairly complete api docs available at alot.rtfd.org

world domination, obviously :)

check out the issue tracker on https://github.com/pazz/alot/issues ,
I'm using github to coordinate work on alot.
Have fun,
