I use a export function which can export all contacts to the format:
#+begin_example

    * NAME
    ** EMAIL: [[mailto:n1@n.com]]
    ** EMAIL: [[mailto:n2@n.com]]
    ** PHONE: [[tel:123456789]]
    ** PHONE: [[tel:123456789]]

#+end_example

It it only a temporary solution, may be someone will need it ,but  adding it to the master may
be not a good idea.
