Description

Submitted by @​matthew:matrix.org
XMPP folk constantly miss rosters - grouped lists of contacts whose presence you can view, which also acts as a standard contact list across multiple clients. We should do better to accomodate this.

(Imported from https://matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-247)

Research direction

Start with the issue body and the imported SPEC-247 proposal at matrix.org/jira/browse/SPEC-247. No files or tests are named, so first identify the relevant Matrix specification sections and define the protocol requirements for grouped contacts and presence lists. Done would require an agreed, complete specification rather than a single localized edit.
