Yes, I tried a lot of things.

telepathy-logger stores ignorelist using gsettings and doesn't seem to give
access to it through dbus interfaces.
I added simple patches to enable it in both telepathy-logger-qt and in
KTp::Logger.
I can't get it working. Every call to disableForEntity ends with crash:

GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'g_utf8_validate (string,
-1, NULL)' failed
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_ref_sink: assertion 'value != NULL' failed

enableForEntity and isDisabledForEntity do not cause any errors.
Maybe I do not understand properly glib, hence my problems.

Still this is not entirely the feature we need. If I understand it
correctly, when I intend do disable logging for a conversation  I have to
disable it for both sides of it. As a consequence I would turn off logging
of every message I create,  even during unencrypted conversation with
different contacts.
I would like to know if it is what we would like to see in KTp and if it
works properly before I ask on telepathy ml.
