>From the web site:

Notmuch is an answer to Sup. Sup is a very good email program written
by William Morgan (and others) and is the direct inspiration for
Notmuch. Notmuch began as an effort to rewrite performance-critical
pieces of Sup in C rather than ruby. From there, it grew into a
separate project. One significant contribution Notmuch makes compared
to Sup is the separation of the indexer/searcher from the user
interface. (Notmuch provides a library interface so that its
indexing/searching/tagging features can be integrated into any email
program.)

Comments:

There hasn't been a formal release yet, but things are moving quickly.
I'm filing this bug to coordinate Debian packaging efforts.  I will
probably do some half-baked job just for my own use.
