Comment(by waldir):

 Well, my personal pet peeve is the inability to place a contact in more
 than one group, even though Pidgin supports this with the contacts from my
 msn account, for instance. A simple "Copy to" in the context menu, in
 addition to the "Move to" entry, would allow this; but as the original
 reporters of both bugs said, when you have a lot of contacts this type of
 operations is cumbersome.

 I see the solution to this as a window where you could have a list of all
 your contacts, with different columns you could sort by (alias, email,
 date last seen online, group(s), date of last conversation, etc),
 preferably with a filter input box which would allow you to, say, enter
 "am" and have listed only members of the group "family" and people such as
 "amy" or "sam3232 at mail.com".

 You would be able to select multiple contacts from this list using the
 shift (for contiguous selections) and ctrl keys (for non-contiguous ones)
 and on the bottom of this list there would be buttons such as "delete",
 "block", "merge" and "split" (the last one only active when one or more
 meta-contacts (or elements thereof) is selected).

 Import and Export/Backup buttons would be nice, too.
