Nope, php as well, see http://git.kolab.org/server/tree/php/patches

Yes

What references? I think the repos themselves should still be around to 
preserver the history. CVS contains more than only the 'server' repo, so the 
only thing that could be deleted is HG.

kolab-server looks looks misconfiguration to me.

I am using 4.4.11.1 (same version as in Debian testing) on Fedora and it works 
fine. Previous versions worked fine, too, but around 4.4.10 there were some 
problems when Kontact was used not in KDE and akonadi was started on demand 
rather than on login.

Yes, I we would like to implement it in long term, but just didn't find the 
time yet.
