I recently put a description and link onto the notmuch web pages.

I wouldn't do so.  But that is not a very strong opinion of mine.

In general, I like it if I see a repository containing one specific tool,
and that one cleanly interfaces through specified interfaces with another
tool.  These two things are no longer as cleanly visible once
notmuch-deliver was part of the notmuch repository.

That's another option, of course.  (And a separate discussion.)

I'm working on that (and other parts of the web pages) as I go on with
exploring the ``notmuch world''.

I'll also take the liberty to put stuff from the mailing list or IRC
discussions into web pages, for we have to document this notmuch beast
;-), and it's better to have a generic place to refer people to, instead
of discussing the same things more than once.


If someone disagrees with any of this, I'm open to discuss these items.

 Thomas
