I'm actually completely lost now, since I've realised you're also OP,
and it was my understanding that you proposed to use offlineimap to get
the tags, save them in the X-something header, and make notmuch index
those.  But now you're saying that offlineimap is not needed?  I must be
missing something.

Sure, but I don't think it's such a big issue, as it may be presented.
If there was some better, not much more difficult, option, than sure,
but otherwise, I think it's a good solution.
