Empathy ignores denying contact requests

[Richard Wonka]

When running empathy, I keep getting the same request from users to see when I am on line. When I then click [No], the same request will come up minutes later again. This seems to mostly happen via Yahoo! and AIM, but I'm not sure, as I don't know how to see where a request (or any chat for that matter) comes from.

I then would like to report the person bugging me, but there seems to be no such option. This is important, as I get quite some spammerbots chatting me up and they are only entertaining for so long..

My idea is to have everyone this annoys submit a separate bug report, in hopes of annoying the devs as much as the bug annoys the users. I'm finding references to this dating back nearly two years but no action.
