The "emacs tips" you refer to is a wiki [1], so feel free to update it.

Customising mail-user-agent is discussed in the "official" manual [2]You
may also have an info version of the same manual, depending on how you
installed notmuch.

I'm not familiar enough with use-package to comment on that.  I agree
that notmuch could be better about autoloading things, but since I
always load notmuch and rarely restart emacs, it hasn't been a priority
for me personally.
