And if anyone is interested to see what's missing, I've added a TODO
file as well. Pasting it here:

 - Handle enable/disable of accounts. When a TpAccount/ESource is disabled,
   we should remove all their personas, but keep them into the DB to make sure
   they'll be merged again when the account is enabled again.

 - Handle multiple calls to _prepare_roster_async() in aggregator and all
   backends. Currently it could lead to adding contacts multiple times.

 - Add FolksNames interface.

 - Add client-types info into the FolksPresence interface, or create its own
   interface.

 - Add FolksGroups interface.

 - Use TpOfflineContact (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62378).

 - Add helper code to get merge suggestions based on heuristics. That code could
   be in libfolks2, but should be used only by the main contact list app,
   because it will require a fully prepared aggregator. It could be based on
   Marco's N900 contacts-merger plugin:
   http://cgit.collabora.com/git/user/bari/contacts-merger.git/
