Comment(by gistbane):

 This would be for improved usability when adding previously contacted
 buddies to groups. (basically housekeeping, organizing or reorganizing
 buddies into groups).

 While Conversation->Add does work for this, this requires you to open an
 IM dialog (using the auto-complete in the Send IM dialog), and clicking to
 add the buddy, adding two additional steps for every buddy you would add
 to a group.  While this is certainly trivial for occasionally adding a
 buddy, or doing so for 2 or 3, when creating groups of tens or hundreds of
 buddies, this can be quite time consuming.

 Having auto-complete in the Add Buddy Interface would be a great time-
 saver, and make pidgin that much cooler in my opinion.
