Hello.

I'm not ready to get back to Telepathy but maybe I can assist in
upstreaming the changes (I have write access to fd.o Telepathy repos and I
can do releases, if I recall how to do it).
Maybe I also can review and merge changes in Qt-based Telepathy projects
(you can be interested in telepathy-nonsense [1] — QXmpp-based connection
manager)
