Hello Simon!
Nice work. The body look a bit inconsitent with the other user-icons 
have 
(http://tango-project.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/actions/mail-reply-all.png 
and 
http://tango-project.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/actions/contact-new.png 
...do we have a bigger shot of these guys anywhere?), but other than 
that I like it. It is good that you use the same symbol as in the offline.
Ryan Collier did some experiments with shapes (circle, star etc.) 
similar to the status icons in google talk and ichat, I really like that 
idea and perhaps you can give that a try as Ryan seems busy with other 
stuff at the moment.

As for adding stuff to the set, the easiest way to submit artwork to the 
tango-icon-theme or tango-art-libre is to do what you already did. Send 
a e-mail to this and provide a link to the artwork. CVS access is given 
to contributors that submit a lot of work and that the maintainer can 
trust won't screw things up (I got cvs access though, however I lost my 
ssh-key shortly afterwards...perhaps it was for the best :) )
Also not that tango use the sizes 16x16, 22x22 and scalable, so you need 
to draw your icon in all three sizes.

Thanks for the effort this far. Great to have more artists on board!
