Bernard,

thanks for taking time to respond.  The problem isn't really the time it takes 
to apply, but getting no or hardly any response at all is the problem (that 
counts for every project, and I know projects much worse ones than kolab in 
this respect).  It's all about communication,  it would have been good if one 
of the core members would have responded on the patch with e.g. "that it may 
take a month before something will be done with because Steffen is away for 
time".  And than if possible 2 weeks later, repeat the message, and that the 
patch is not forgotten.  If you're able to do that, it would be perfect (but 
that will be very hard).
