The maintainers of gnome-shell are interested in supporting this
functionality in the core of gnome-shell (not in an extension), but
they'd need someone (or likely more than one person) that understands
the various calendars to do the work.

Depending on how the calendars are used in various regions, we might
also need to have discussions with designers to see how the calendar
switching would work.
