           Summary: Get attributes for contacts related to a channel
           Product: Telepathy

        OS/Version: All

It would make the world a better place if we could get ContactAttributes for
all contacts related to a channel in one call. Just like how ContactList iface
works.

I'm suggesting adding this method on Channel iface:

GetContactAttributes(as: interfaces) -> a{ua{sv}} (Contact_Attributes_Map)

That would include all contacts related to that channel in a way or another. It
would guarantee to contain at least the channel's self handle and the channel's
TargetHandle if of type Contact. If the channel has a Group iface that would
also include all members, local-pending and remote-pending.

Like that handling the set of contacts for a channel would be really similar to
Connection.ContactList and will make easy to create TpContact objects.
