This is not the bug reporting system.  Instructions for that can be 
found at https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports.

However, Pidgin does not officially support Skype and is unlikely ever 
to do so.  I am not sure of the legality of any third party plug-in, but 
if you are having problems with one, you need to take it up with its 
developers.

I'm assuming that you are only using Skype services.  If you are using a 
mix of services, the identity of the other service is also important.
