I think it is hard to split this patch up into meaningful smaller
pieces, since it mainly moves parts from notmuch-hello into separate
functions and adds some defcustoms. So, the main opportunities for
splitting would be to do this moving of code into functions one function
per commit and to put the defcustoms and their quite lengthy
documentation in a separate commit (which would leave you with an
intermediate version that's seriously lacking in documentation).

I'm not sure if those two things are that useful, but if there's
consensus that the patch shouldn't stay in the way it is, I can give it
a shot (although it'd be a lot of tedious work).

Cheers,
Daniel
