I don't agree. The way it is implemented now makes it *very* uncomfortable
to invite more than 1 or 2 Persons from other accounts. I mean, entering
10 times a 15 chars  jabber-id is not what i'd call the easy way.

By the way, gajim has a right-click menuoption 'invite to' and there it is
possible to also invite contacts from other accounts.
