Regarding Arch's 'user-centric' policy, Arch is not for inexperienced
Linux users. IOW there is nothing the Arch maintainers need to know,
since they follow the Arch Linux policy.

Arch follows upstream, if not, then just because a development version
fixed a really, really serious issue. The same is true for patches. So
we could assume that a serious issue, maybe the HTML issue or perhaps a
more important bug of 3.21 is the reason to build from git, but the
version provided by 'Help > About", 'evolution -v' and the X-Mailer
header was not patched.

The package version is correct and apart from this, all information how
the package was build, is available by the Arch build system tree.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q evolution
evolution 3.22.1+8+gf95d465-1
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep pkgver= /var/abs/extra/evolution/PKGBUILD 
pkgver=3.22.1+8+gf95d465
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep source= /var/abs/extra/evolution/PKGBUILD -B1 
-A1
