No joy for me?

I did find a PPA which provides Evolution 3.16.0, provided by Fabien
Tassin, which is awesome but it hasn't been updated since March (so it
doesn't have the current Evolution 3.16.2.1 version) and also it doesn't
provide evolution-data-server-online-accounts, and I've configured my
email accounts through Gnome's online accounts (I could redo them in Evo
directly of course).

No one is interested in getting Evolution 3.16.2.1 into the GNOME3
Staging PPA?
