thanks for having done all this work already!

I would be happy with a series of patches, but the cited github history
has only one commit in the first place :P

fwiw, "notdb" doesn't really resonate with me, but i wouldn't block you
if you decided to stick with it.

I'd generally prefer something like "notmuch2" because it makes it much
clearer that it is associated with notmuch, and that it is the successor
to the original notmuch bindings.

(i also find "notmuch2" rather unsatisfying, but python doesn't have a
meaningful versioning system for backwards-incompatible API changes for
its modules, so this kind of name augmentation is the only strategy i'm
aware of).
