[Kopete] Adding 'reverse' contacts

The damndest thing happened to me tonight. I wanted to delete some old jabber meta contacts, so I thought the Quick Filter in kopetes main window would be a quick and easy way of selecting the around 150 contacts by typing 'icq.jabber.dk' in there. Sure enough only contacts with 'icq.jabber.dk' where displayed, so I CTRL^A'ed and pressed [DELETE] and ticked off the 'don't bug me'. About 30 secs after and all the contacts where gone. Problem was, when I cleared my Quick Filter. There still wasn't any contacts. CTRL^A apparently selects not only the ones marked by the quick filter, but EVERYTHING, including whats not visible.

Anywho, I was a bit miffed about this naturally. But then I saw the 'View Reverse List' under the 'Contacts' setting under the MSN Protocol. This pops up a window with every contact that has you added. I thought 'this is just what I need', but sadly there wasn't an easy option to sync or add those contacts, and that's really where I'm at.

I really don't want to add 117 MSN contacts manually and likewise with ICQ and Jabber. If it became an option to add those who have you added this would be a real time saver for a lot of different uses, and most of the functionality already seems to be in there anyways.

[Edit]

If there is a place I should post a bug report... Well please direct me to where :).
It would be nice if the same became possible with all the other protocols.

I would love to do this my self, but I'm sadly not a programmer. I hope someone can shed some light on my problem and hopefully give me an easy solution.
