My gap analysis certainly shows some holes, but I'd love to compare it with yours: what are you missing that you need ? :-)
Mostly better protocol coverage and/or quality of the "supported" CMs. Also the GUI is missing the ability to group various contacts into one (to assign more than one account to a given person, which is REALLY useful).
To be fair, I have not tested empathy during the last 3 month but I doubt it has changed much since. Basicly, it's nice if you only want XMPP (and don't care about MUCs) but for other popular protocols it's not really usable. And AFAIK there's noone working full time on the project anymore now, which does not really help.

Let's not turn this thread into a discussion of pidgin vs. empathy and such. That's not the intention here, and I merely presented pidgin as an example because it is included by default in openSUSE and it is in G:C. The focus of this thread should be: What are the guidelines we should follow for what and when to copy packages from G:C to Contrib.
