Description

Fixed in bugfix/wikileaks_irc but the account name is an hidden service address and is not recognizable by the user. This has been reported upstream (https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15720) and we should now wait for them.

Upstream code is https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main/
Pidgin is in C.

Upstream has answered the ticket and seems not completely sure what this is about, might be worth precising.

Clarified our needs on the upstream ticket.

It would be great if this was solved upstream but I doubt we, as Tails, will ever make it happen.
