As a Debian user, you should be aware of the Debian BTS and first take a
look at bugs there [1] and particularly this one [2], where you'll find a
workaround.  The migration of GNOME 2.10 to testing was stuck due to
various reasons; this was discussed here as well.  I am upgrading my
testing machine everyday and run Evo's mail component only.  If it crashes
on every startup, just change the GConf key
apps/evolution/shell/view_defaults/component_id to "mail" (using the GConf
Editor).

There's no need to contact the maintainer(s) as normally this is done
through the BTS.
