Yes, development takes place in the open.

Correct, that's where the tarballs ("releases") are listed.
If you want the very latest code that's even newer than the last
tarball, you'd have to check it out from the code repository at
git.gnome.org. https://live.gnome.org/Git/Developers describes how.
Module would be "evolution" (and obviously also its dependencies, like
"evolution-data-server") and if you want 3.6.x, the Git branch would be
called "gnome-3-6".

Everybody could. Theoretically.
In GNOME it's normally recommend to use JhBuild (see
http://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/ ), but in case of followup questions
about JhBuild please note that the Evolution mailing list does not
provide JhBuild support -- gnome-love@ would be better suited for this.
