273 open bugs in Empathy, (apparently) none regarding the inability of
removing unwanted Yahoo contact requests, without accepting them
first. Since at least one of then is about the lack of a decent
contact manager (wishlist), I guess there's no need to report an
additional bug at this moment. It seems that Empathy is still a work
in progress.
