Calendaring is excellent for a one-person effort (mostly one person, anyway), but still has issues around the edges (e.g.CalDAV doesn't work as nicely as macOS Calendar.app). It probably doesn't help that the server I have to use it with is half broken too; overall the experience isn't as good as Outlook + Exchange. But that's not only because of Lightning.

Overall the main problem is probably that not enough people can spend enough time on it. Which makes me hypocritical given that I'm not currently helping…

I agree about Outlook + Exchange. Plugins exist for thunderbird to integrate but they just don't have the same quality of experience. Simply using outlook is less frustrating for me.

The meeting attendance functions need some work. And I'd throw cash at a bounty if an attendance "solver" could be added (ala heres who has to come, here's my standard list of rooms, find me a spot which is unbooked)
