As I said (or tried to say), in my opinion, duplication with an external
package is not the main issue; I think moving features into the core
when appropriate is a normal development process. On the other hand, I'm
not really a gmail user, so I don't know yet if these patches solve
enough of the problem to be interesting.

To some extent it's up to you, whether you prefer to maintain a private
branch, or spend the effort on getting the patches upstream. For better
or worse, getting patches into notmuch is rarely fire-and-forget; almost
everything goes through several rounds of review. No hard feelings
either way ;).

Cheers,
