I just wanted to point out that this specific request has now been added
to notmuch, thanks to David Bremner! It will hopefully be part of the
forthcoming 0.29 release:
NEWS currently says:
Add support for indexing user specified headers (e.g. List-Id). See
notmuch-config(1) for details. This requires reindexing after changing
the set of headers to be indexed.
Bremner, i'm not sure how/when you want to clear the notmuch::wishlist
tag on the OP here, but it's nice to be able to reduce the stack listed
at https://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/status/#Wish-list
