I do not claim a vote here with that one or two commits I did for
Akonadi maildir resource long ago.
Just one consideration: If you go about prioritizing what is important
for KDEPIM, is it this? My impression is that there are a lot of more
important issues to tackle than the contributor list in "Help > About
KMail". Compared with some long-term issues in Akonadi… I'd say this is
totally a non-issue.
Your choice, just a thought that I had as I read this.
Best,
