Thanks for the background on how this is supposed to work. I agree that this
seems to be the ideal way to do it.

Now it seems that something is not working correctly for me (and a few other
people) as the internal tab in akonadiconsole is empty. (see attached screenshot)
For me, the collection also appears empty in korganizer and I'm pretty sure I got
a lot of invitations to work meetings (too many in my opinion).

I will try to debug this locally, now that I have some overview this might
be easier ;)

Yeah but I have no idea how to access the internal calfilterpartstatusproxymodel
it seems to not be exported and is only available as an implementation detail of
the ETMCalendar.

Yeah akonadi-calendar, seems like the ideal place for this as it does not relly
on QWidgets. I'll submit a PR once I get a better overview of why the stuff
is not working locally and hopefully have a fix for it ;)

Thanks,
Carl
