## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung
lbdb, the Little Brother's Database, is an address lookup helper associated with the Mutt mail reader.
### Projektgeschichte
The official lbdb page names Thomas Roessler as the initial author and Roland Rosenfeld as maintainer. It says the package was inspired by the Emacs Big Brother Database package and Brandon Long's external query patch for Mutt, a patch incorporated into Mutt starting with Mutt 0.93.
### Adoptionsgeschichte
lbdb's long package-manager footprint comes from its fit with text-mode mail workflows: the input data lists Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Ubuntu, and openSUSE packaging.
### Wie es verwendet wird
Users query it with `lbdbq `. The official page says lbdbq invokes modules to gather matching person records from sources such as received-mail address lists, YP maps, and finger lookups.
### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren
lbdb is a classic Unix mail add-on: it is small, modular, and oriented around composing tools such as Mutt rather than replacing them with a full contact manager.
### Zeitleiste
- Mutt 0.93 era: Mutt incorporated the external query patch that helped motivate lbdb.
- 2017-12-03: The maintainer GitHub repository referenced from the official site was created.
- 2026-01-17: The maintainer GitHub repository metadata showed activity on that date.
### Related projects
- The official page relates lbdb to Mutt, Big Brother Database for Emacs mailers, YP maps, finger, LDAP query tooling, and lbdb's own helper commands such as lbdb-fetchaddr and mutt_ldap_query.
