please add an import functionality that takes all Instant Messaging accounts and the corresponding contacts with ban-lists and chat-history from Pidgin and imports them into Thunderbird.

Is this really about importing contacts or about importing accounts? Most IM accounts store their contact list on the server.

FWIW Instantbird has a Google Summer of Code student working on account import (accounts, account options and logs), but we don't have plans to import contacts right now.
We had a GSoC student work on this last summer, see https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1495 for the current integration work.
