For SIP and other protocols modelled after the telephony world, it's useful to have a call state in the org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Interface.CallState interface indicating call progress, such as when the outgoing call has reached a gateway. In this situation, the destination contact may not have been made aware of the call yet, so the Ringing state is not appropriate; however, early media from the gateway may already become available, conveying useful information about the call progress not otherwise available through protocol signalling. The SIP status code directly corresponding to this proposed state is 183 Session Progress. The branch at the URL adds state InProgress to the Channel_Call_State_Flags enumeration.
This is pretty easy and has general agreement: upgrading it to blocker to indicate that it should be in the next spec release (Monday, probably). Misha's branch seems to have been eaten by a grue (and/or a sysadmin) but I've made a new one based on wording from this bug: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/smcv/telepathy-spec-smcv.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/in-progress

Pity that all my clone repositories are gone.
Fixed in 0.17.28
