 Hello, 

 OK, I raised the concern on gnome-hackers, in thread 'Thinking about
Dogfood'. It didn't arrive to list yet ('message has implicit destination' - I 
tried two times placing gnome-hackers@ in To: and Cc:), and it can be
previewed in archives (bug in list manager? - unapproved mails are archived
too):

 I didn't provide a proof like this there - just a summary.

 Yes, it started a thread in which i18n-related problems with Evolution were
disclosed by me too.
 Unfortunately I don't have time to work for free a whole month fixing bug
after bug etc for free and I'm very pessimistic about the results such active
bugfixing will give.

 Did so in my mail.
