Hi!

Maps still depends on libsoup 2 (we get this dependency via
libchamplain, and it is unlikly to get ported…)

Problem is we haven't yet declared libshumate as "1.0" stable, and
there's probably a couple of things to iron out before porting Maps
itself to it (and GTK 4), and this is a pretty big undertaking, and I'm
a bit concerned about being able to pull it off this late in the cycle.

One option I think is to drop the contact address lookup in Maps (we
use e-d-s via libfolks to match searches on contacts who have
addresses).

Not sure if this is used that much, and it's probably less use now
since 42 when Contacts has a button to launch Maps with a search query
based on the address for contacts who have an address set.
