Calendarserver is running quiet nicely on linux since some time:

Can we fill this gap? We started to add some docs to the Debian package
- mostly about kerberos authentication so far.
http://git.debian.org/?p=calendarserver/calendarserver.git;a=blob;f=debian/README.Debian
I'd be happy to add more there but these things really belong into the
wiki.

Is the later still true for the 1.2 branch? Most of the components seem
quiet up to date but I agree that pushing things back upstream (e.g.
pydirector or twisteds) simply doesn't seem to happen. Also integration
of patches seems slow at times.

It seems participation by external contributros in the project is low in
general, I think mostly because of two reasons:
a) insufficient docs
b) slow integration of patches
This seems easily fixable if people are interested enough.
