So what would it take to make Gnorb work with org-contacts and mu4e? I know
Gnorb works with Gnus, but in my opinion, Gnorb's ability
to automatically "catch" and identify incoming emails isn't as useful as
its other features.

In other words, if using Gnorb with mu4e required the user to manually flag
an incoming email through a function like "add-message-to-gnorb," Gnorb
would still retain 99% of its usefulness. The most useful functionality, as
John Kitchin noted, would be to capture information from a mu4e email
reply, and process it and incorporate it back into an org-mode file.
