As a style thing, it seems more idiomatic to me to have a map macro
which returns a sequence, rather than faking it with mapc and push. But
maybe that's a typical common lisp style, I don't know.

More importantly, in emacs 24.3 I get an infinite loop when trying to
evaluate the update notmuch-pick.el. 

The backtrace is below. I'm not a macro expert, but seems like too much
is happening at compile/eval time.
