 Sugar developper asked us to be able to perform activity searches based on
 activity's properties *and* participants at the same time; which is not
 possible with the current API.

 An elegant solution to solve this problem would be to have "property
 based" API, which could be similar to what we are already doing with the
 new Requests interface for channels (aka the Requestotron).
 As Requests is now implemented in telepathy-glib and Gabble, we agreed
 that would be good to change Gadget's API to use it.

 This has lot of advantages including a more consistent API with the rest
 of Telepathy, more flexibility if we want to add new features, could
 benefit of the futur channels dispatch mechanism at some point, etc.
