The idea has definitely been floated before. If I search for:

	notmuch search to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org inotify

in my collection I see 5 messages sent to the list, (other than
yours). But none of those include any code that I have seen.

It sounds like playing with inotify and notmuch might make a fun weekend
project for somebody. Is anyone looking for something like that?
