+Indexing files with duplicate message-id

+Change of return value of `notmuch_thread_get_authors`
+
+  In certain corner cases, `notmuch_thread_get_authors` previously
+  returned NULL.  This has been replaced by an empty string, since the
+  possibility of NULL was not documented.

[PATCH] NEWS: Python bindings changes for 0.26

[David Bremner]

These are my own changes, plus those of Florian Klink and Lucas
Hoffmann. Gaute's change fixed a bug that was never in a released
version, so I left it out.

Pushed all three to branch release; this should help people avoid
conflicts in making their own NEWS entries.
