Personally I would like an already known format for these. For example
git fetches them from different places, like mutt aliases list.
And I wonder why this is not part of notmuch core. You could then tell
notmuch to compose a message, and specify an alias instead of a full
address. This can be used in many ways.
But yeah, I'm eager to get something like this :)
