I get the perspective, but I'm not sure it's right. For a start,
there's no email app, so - if we ignore the continued existence of
Evolution, as GNOME seems determined to do, that means pretty much
everyone is going to either use a completely non-GNOMEified app
(Thunderbird), or a web service, to read their email. Both Thunderbird
and every common webmail service I can think of can also handle
contacts and calendar, so, why would someone take the trouble to use an
app for those instead?

Hi, we already have agreement to rename Geary to GNOME Mail and include that in core after a few outstanding quality issues are fixed. Off the top of my head: the unread mail counter is unreliable. It's pretty close. Sadly, it's not actively maintained, so not getting any closer. Needs a friendly maintainer before we can proceed.

Evolution is indeed not going to be included.

Regarding your other points: a Contacts manager seems like basic functionality to me. Ditto for Calendar. I'm not so sure about Photos. We've never had much agreement on Photos.
