I consider a community process to be good. The Kolab Konsortium is one
part of the community, maybe a very important part and often driving
development and progress. Still we value the full community.

We can define criteria as a community to take up things,
one would be having a maintainer and a good perspective on the component in 
question.

Well, we can do extensions out of the core as much as we want to.
Anybody can do this right away even without asking the Kolab development 
community. Again then comes the question: Shall we (as in the community) pick 
it up for the core?
