there's a manual way to do it as a janky workaround:
* create a bogus e-mail message that References: a message-id from each
split faction.
* inject that message into your notmuch message store
* delete that message
See also the thread on this maiing list with Subject "thread merge/split

id:87mvp9uwi4.fsf@alice.fifthhorseman.net though i don't think any of
that has been implemented.
