[Evolution] Bug#845420: can't add IRC nicks to a contact, Jabber is a trademark

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1
Severity: serious

Editing a contact in Evolution, there is a section on the first tab,
"Instant Messaging" where it allows people to select options like "MSN"
or "Skype".

There is no apparent way to specify other contact types here.

Given that Debian and GNOME have a strong emphasis on using IRC, it
seems silly that IRC is not one of the options.

Jabber[1] is a Cisco trademark, this option could become "XMPP" or maybe
"XMPP (Jabber^TM)"

It would also be very desirable to permit SIP and Ring[2] addresses here
too.
