It sounds like telepathy-python might be deprecated, which would explain
the lack of activity

Perhaps we could port our code to use telepathy through
gobject-introspection or even dbus. I think that's certainly worth
investigating. What worries me is that our collaboration framework is
already very fragile and the developers still involved with the project
doesn't really have much expertise about it. So changing code is pretty
scary...

 I'm afraid this is all the documentation there is

http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/

We use it for our collaboration framework. It provides presence information
and communication channels.

So could you point me to some resource where I could learn a bit about it?

I'm afraid we don't have such a list. You could grep for imports in sugar
and sugar-toolkit-gtk3.
