Could we use MC to manage not only telepathy but also Gossip (and other)
accounts? Perhaps extending MC to do it and submitting it back.

I'm no big fan of telepathy. It's nice, yes.
But it also bounds us. We cannot do and experiment with things that
telepathy does not handle (yet). It also depends us hardly on something
we don't fully control.

Gossip is a nice Jabber (XMPP in future maybe) client. One of the
nicest. Dropping backend support in favor of telepathy would make it
just another telepathy frontend.
