SiskinIM support contact groups so that you can create groups like "Family", "Linux", or "Friends" and group your contacts within those contact groups, but Beagle lacks this feature, although I believe that users of Beagle would benefit also having this feature.
With contact groups additional feature could be implemented like group chats by clicking on contact group title and add/invite all contacts in that contact group into a newly created MUC.
Or group video calls by escalating the voice/video call to Jitsi Meet.
In enterprise environments ldap-based contact groups could be implemented, so you could have automatically add contacts to a group based on ldap group membership, e.g. "IT Business", "Finance", "Administration" or "Workers Council". If a new member is added to that LDAP group all other contacts "subscribed" to that contact group would automatically have that new member in that group contact list. Same when a member is removed from LDAP group.
This requires, of course, to have contact groups in contact list in the first place.
