I'd say there's a chance this might get into HEAD. However. I've
understood that at this moment is Evolution trying to stabilize for the
2.2.x release.

Nevertheless I'm sure that your patch will be taken into consideration
for the future releases (2.3, 2.4). But almost certainly not for 2.2
(which I believe will be or is the release for GNOME 2.10.0).

Also note, because you once asked me about this privately, that I'm not
a Evolution maintainer nor take decisions. I'm just a contributor who
has upgraded your patch to HEAD :-).

I do know that if you can make this contribution in the form of an
EPlugin, it might be more easy to get it included with Evolution. I'm
not sure, however, if you can do drawing on the calendaring widget from
within an EPlugin.
