Actually, I do not use org-contacts either but I use an org file as
contact data base that follows the conventions defined in org-contacts.
Nevertheless, I would like to be able to use some of the newer functions of
org-contacts, namely the VCard export.
Currently org-phone.el as well as my org-dial.el are incompatible with
org-contacts. The only idea behind my proposal was to make the contributors
of both packages aware of each other.

Yes, of course, with some persuading.

That would be convenient indeed. But considering the given syntax rules
for links in org-mode, I'm not sure whether I really would like it. Too
much magic can be confusing.
Moreover that would create a dependency between org-contacts and org-phone.
Org-contacts would require org-phone in order to work as intended, thus
creating a strong argument for my proposal of merging both packages.
