Would indeed be good to add this sometime. I'm still curious to how you
use it though to make sure we make a good API. I only found
https://github.com/gauteh/lieer/blob/394d8c1a574fd57e63390e92a6e73363808ebac5/lieer/local.py#L280
and it seems you only use the `.path` attribute. Is this correct or did
I miss anything?

That is correct, as well as relying on an exception if the input directory is not in the notmuch database. I also use `db.get_path()` to figure out the relative path w.r.t to the database root, for use in `path:` queries (https://github.com/gauteh/lieer/blob/master/lieer/gmailieer.py#L315).
