We don't, but if nautilus-sendto is installed, the code is quite
trivial:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/tree/plugins/sendto/sendto.py

The biggest part of it is the code to insert the menu dynamically.
Evolution doesn't have this sort of code, and just checks for
"nautilus-sendto" in the path before showing the menu item.
