Just for the record, I have some patches in progress for porting to
gmime-3.0. The main issue is the multiplicity of memory management
models involved. I think the gmime 3.0 approach of using more stock glib
memory management makes sense, but it will require a bit of work to make
code that can compile against gmime-2.6 and gmime-3.0. I don't see us
being able to drop support for gmime-2.6 for a few years, unfortunately.
out of curiosity, why do you think we won't be able to drop gmime-2.6
for a few years? if it's due to the debian release cycle and wanting to
backport notmuch to stretch, i don't think i'd mind providing backports
of gmime 3.0 for that purpose.
