Ehsan, do you have time for this, or should I try to find someone else?

Not tracking this for 5.0

(In reply to comment #1) > Ehsan, do you have time for this, or should I try to find someone else? Oops. I know that this is my fault, but I'm really swamped with Q2 stuff for the editor, so if you have someone else in mind, I would be really glad. But let me know if I'm the best one to work on this...

Well, I was going to ask Jason and Honza as a next step... ;)

I was working on the dialer in the past, so I'll take a look, but not very soon. If anyone else want to check this, feel free to reassign.

For now I'm releasing this bug. But it is still on my radar and if not taken by someone else I can work on this later.

autodialer is going to be removed
