is there are reason why this is developed in some random git repository 
instead of KDE's subversion? Sure, git has its adavantages, but the KDE 
infrastructure provides stuff like nightly builds and test-runs, static code 
analysis, translations into countless languages and most importantly review 
by the KDE PIM and wider KDE community. I can't track countless git 
repositories, but I read every commit affecting or using Akonadi in KDE's 
repository. I can fix minor issues when I see them, without having to figure 
out the patch submission procedures of the used git hosting service. That's 
not just a problem with your resource of course, rather a general worry of 
mine, caused by the recently increasing repository fragmentation.

Looking at the code I spotted some of the usual problems with unguarded return 
paths from retrieveX methods (ie. there is a retrievalDone() or 
cancelTask/deferTask call missing, causing the resource to hang in this 
cases). Similar in the itemAdded|Changed|Removed methods. I could have fixed 
that easily in the time it took me to write this mail, with the resource in 
KDE's repositories ;-)

Volker
