This is an issue about various things that would be useful/required to have in
an EDS 3.8 branch when used for PIM Manager.

EDS did not properly close active sources when clients died prematurely. This
was fixed in 3.9, could be backported. mbarnes said on IRC that he might do
that himself. Commit from 3.9:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=26d1e871576e35015b2e243805922d7fc7fe8bf6

There are some patches from the openismus-work branch which did not make it
into 3.8, most notable database updates when the locale changes. See bug 
#59571.

Tristan, can you take care of at least the merging of all patches from the
openismus-work branch?
