Alright, some follow-up questions to that: -Who sets the development priorities for Evolution? -Are they aware that this is a standard feature of pretty much every other modern email client in existence, and that this request is 15 years old now? -Is there a way I can encourage an experienced dev who's already familiar with the code base to work on this? I currently donate monthly to the Gnome Foundation, but perhaps an extra donation or a payment directly to the developer? -----Original Message----- Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 19:01:44 +0200 Subject: Re: [Evolution] Long standing feature request To: evolution-list gnome org From: Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net> Hi Youssef, On Fri, 2017-05-19 at 10:51 -0400, Youssef Mahmoud wrote:
Does anyone know if any active Evo developers are aware of this bug report (feature request)?: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207624
Developers (and anyone else) can be aware of all bug reports, as all bug reports are public. As (wo)manpower is very limited it's likely that nobody will work on it in the foreseeable future. Everybody is free to propose code changes (providing a software patch) if they want to see that bug fixed. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Git/Developers for more information. Thanks, andre
