I just have been hit by this exact same issue, also for X-GitHub-Sender,
during my switch to notmuch and notmuch-mode.

Potentially keep the `--headers` option as you propose and default to
the current behaviour? This way everything is retro-compatible, messages
still look nice when manually shown via `notmuch show` by default, but
tools that make use of the additional headers can specify which headers
they use.

And then dumping comma-separated `notmuch-message-headers` into this
option becomes the additional feature for `notmuch.el` we're all hoping
for :)
