Hello again,
This is an issue that perhaps has been discussed before, but apparently
it is not a priority for gnome developers.
Instant messaging has become commoditized much in mobile devices with
applications such as WhatsApp, Viber, Line, etc. left behind to classic
protocols.
Moreover, apparently to developing Empathy I stayed stopped, and in some
respects outdated - like gtalk module -. It is not well integrated with
current gnome design standards and seems not to want to modernize new
principles 0f messaging (this is my appreciation).
When compared to Polari -irc chat- is a big change that I would look to
use protocols such as XMPP/jingle, SIP and yahoo IM in the proposed
gnome-chat app.
And why not think about the implementation of other protocols such as
Telegram. Telegram is found in many devices, it offers a great
experience in text/audio messaging and this protocol is completely open
source (in the future will support audio calls).
WebRTC seems another option, although it seems very difficult to provide
webrtc protocol an application. See:

¿Gnome chat it is developing, there are chances of seeing a technical
preview in GNOME 3.20?
Cheers
