The comment above was outdated since org-e-* files don't exist
anymore.  I updated it.

This is correct and will tell Org to compile and install
org-notmuch.el.

But you will still have to require it in your configuration.

Compiling, installing and requiring are three different things.

The makefile rules take care of the first two, while your config
file needs to take care of the third one in any case.

If you set the load-path to include the "contrib/lisp/" directory,
then you don't need to install org-notmuch, and (require 'org-notmuch)
will find it.

If you don't want to bother setting the load-path for "contrib/lisp/"
then you want to install Org.  In this case, org-notmuch will not be
installed unless you add the "ORG_ADD_CONTRIB = org-notmuch" rule.

I hope the above clarifies things.

I don't install Org files, I use them from the git repo and configure
the require accordingly.

This should be enough
