According to the docs [1], there are two programs that can be used with
notmuch-address.el: notmuch-addresses (python) and addrlookup (vala/c).

Further it is possible to import all addresses into bbdb [2], supposedly
faster than notmuch-address.el.

Is it also faster than notmuch-address.el + addrlookup? 

What about shipping some / all of these with notmuch? It feels that
newbies would benefit from this inclusion and more extensive
documentation about what to do to get address completion.

Probably it would be sane to decide either for notmuch-addresses or
addrlookup, as they seem to do the same.

In addition the import script for bbdb could be nice.
