Fine by me. I suggest:

file emacs/notmuch-bbdb.el

functions

 notmuch-bbdb/snarf-between-commas
 notmuch-bbdb/snarf-header

 notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from
 notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to

(or if the format in origina patch is in line what has been done elsewhere, then:)

 bbdb/notmuch-snarf-header

 bbdb/notmuch-snarf-from
 bbdb/notmuch-snarf-to

(and, with Ethan's comments addressed)

And then, to notmuch.el or notmuch-show.el:

(autoload 'notmuch-bbdb/snarf-from "notmuch-bbdb" 
          "Import the sender of the current message into BBDB" t)
(autoload 'notmuch-bbdb/snarf-to "notmuch-bbdb" 
          "Import all recipients of the current message into BBDB" t)
