Comment(by gagern):

 I don't think this is a duplicate: the user info can contain much more
 info than only the nick of the user, and #3207 seems to care only for the
 nick. Any part of that information might be needed to make a decision. In
 particular, any links to homepages or similar might be massively useful.

 As displaying it all might increase the size of the authorization request
 dramatically, I'd vote for a third button. It would be a shortcut to what
 I do now: copy number or name (depending on service), click Buddies / Get
 User Info, paste number / name.

 Oh, and by the way: this is still an issue in 2.6.6.
