Suggestion/Discussion: Rock-solid contacts (+CardDav)
As depicted in the two bugs I just published, syncing contacts seems to be far from optimal.
From experience, crafting CardDav-friendly contact editing is a tough job with many pitfalls.
Why not simplify the whole topic and just store plain VCF files in a filesystem directory per account?
Then the whole CardDav issue can be solved using something like vdirsyncer and most issues are resolved.
_(I mention vdirsyncer because in my evaluation it's the only one that works reliably and uses plain VCF files as opposed to alien formats or databases.)_
