I guess both of you know this already, but for the record notmuch can
handle defined config items being in either the database or a config
file. I guess you'd probably want to store just one config item with all
of the mappings; it isn't clear what the keys would be otherwise. You
can also read e.g. all keys with a certain prefix, so it might make
sense to configure

petname.dkg: dkg@fifthhorseman.net
petname.mjg: michaeljgruber+grubix+git@gmail.com

There are many possible variations, you probably know best what you
want/need. I just wanted to mention the library support for config
management.
