I agree with your assessment that the benefit in the very short term is
not too big.

If and when the proposal I made on emacs-devel, to modify how email
address completion is handled in Emacs's message.el should get accepted
& merged, then the enabled changes would be much bigger: no integration
with message.el needed (i.e. no more need to hook into
message-completion-alist), single point of interface will be EUDC, no
more integration with company needed.

From what it sound s like, it would seem to make more sense to wait for
that Emacs patch to get merged? Bundling the new code with notmuch, but
without any integration with the rest of it, effectively leaving it to
users to figure out how to make use of it wouldn't seem to make too much
sense, OTOH.

Thanks for confirming!
