org-jami-bot's description is the following:

Capture GNU Jami messages as notes and todos in Org mode
...
 `org-jami-bot' builds upon `jami-bot' and extends it with Org mode capture
;; functionality for text messages and images.  It allows to schedule agenda
;; items at specific dates, compose multi-measure captures and capture images --
;; all by sending a message via the GNU Jami messenger.

In other words, org-jami-bot package is an integration of jami-bot with
org-capture API. Its name clearly indicates that it has something to do
with Org mode.

I am not sure what is the problem you are trying to avoid, but I hope
that you did not imply that packages that provide integration with Org
mode are not allowed on ELPA.
