Evolution with bogofilter: wherefore are thou?

[Paul Smith]

I've been using Ubuntu GNOME at home and I'm liking it a lot.  I think
I'll probably switch my work system to using it instead of Mint the next
time I update that system.

I have only a few problems, the most annoying of which is the lack of
bogofilter plugin support in Evolution.

I've been using Evo for a lot of years, and I've been using my same
email addresses for even more years.  I get a LOT of spam.  Up until
recently I was able to use the bogofilter plugin in Evo and it worked
really, really well: it runs fast, is quick to train, and is scary-good
at telling ham from spam.

Unfortunately as of 14.04 the bogofilter plugin is no longer supported
in Ubuntu's build of Evolution:

This is seriously crushing my email buzz.  SA is just _terrible_ for me.
I've had to enable my ISPs spam detection which is OK for a generic
detector most of the time (finds about 60% of my spam) but sometimes it
takes a nutty and starts dropping half my email into my spam folder.

What can we do to help get this fixed in Ubuntu 15.04?  The bug was
filed over a year ago and no maintainer seems interested in responding
to or fixing it.

Can we get some dialog going here with the Ubuntu Evo maintainers?  If
base Ubuntu won't fix it can the Ubuntu GNOME project take over
packaging of Evo and fix the issue there?
