[Evolution] Get contacts from Empathy instead of Pidgin?

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad <joerlend schinstad gmail com>]

I'm using Evo 2.26.1, in which you can sync contacts from Pidgin. I
don't know this feature is provided by a plugin or if it's built-in?
In any case, I think Evolution should be able to get contacts
primarily from Empathy/Telepathy. Has this been added to 2.26.x, or do
you think I should file a bug on it?

thanks,
