If you add a second pipe for notmuch to broadcast information about
events (such as new mail being indexed) you could farm out most of the
logic that will increasingly clutter up notmuch-new.c to an external
daemon.

Just the mailid and path would be enough for people to implement their
own tagging based on directory, Maildir flags or (for all I care)
Bayesian content filtering with relative ease.

Just a thought
