I don't mean sharing the Xapian database (although that could be interesting for the future). I'm talking about as a client of public-inbox, not as a server. I mean doing a git clone for a public-inbox repository and notmuch indexing that repository. > > Am I missing something or has nobody really worked on linking these two > > tools?

I don't see how that could be difficult. But then again, I haven't looked at the Maildir code.
