Lets be clear about this - caldav/carddav sync has been asked about, 
pleaded, requested for the better part of 2 years now. The response has 
generally been in the realm of "we have Google, why bother?"

42 people in the last 12 hours have marked 'me too' on this bug frmo BQ 
about caldav/carddav support - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1566260
97 previously have marked this one (owncloud sync): 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199774

There have been multiple requests to help get this working - obviously 
it's not easy for the community to do otherwise it would have been done. 
This is an area where help and support from Canonical devs is needed.

I'm aware that there are higher priorities, and will be for some time. I 
don't think everything should be dropped and this made a priority. I do 
think that at the least this feature needs to be on a roadmap - 3, 6 
months - it doesn't really matter. What matters here is acknowledgement 
from canonical that this is important, and is in the works.

Perhaps you could outline a few steps that community members like myself 
could take in order to push this long?//How would you suggest we 
'document what is missing and necessary for such a feature to work'? I 
haven't been developing the contact/calendar sync, and am not familiar 
with how Buteo works. Perhaps some kindly Canonical dev could explain 
what needs to happen in order to get this feature implemented, in enough 
detail that community devs are able to work their way around it.
