I'm glad to hear you'll be back on the bug hunt.  One thing that I'm
seeing as a major issue is that the prpl does not appear to handle
groups properly.  Among the problems you cannot move buddies between
groups, and buddies/groups get re-added at each login, resulting in
group order changes and the "breaking out" of users from grouped
contacts.  These are the most significant buddy list management bugs
that need addressing.
