Not yet. I'm working with Bastien to integrate a set of patches so the
`org-contacts' function will print contacts in a better way.
They will probably be more at the time come, we'll see.

You add what you want. Org-contacts does not care at all. It just use
some fields like EMAIL for Gnus completion, so it has to know it. Other
fields are up to your choices.

That would be easy. Maybe a vcard export even?

I think so, yes. Org-contacts let you be free about how you manage your
contacts, so it should adapt to your current organization.
