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,
