Status of vcard packages

[Pascal Quesseveur]

Hello,

I don't quite understand the situation regarding vcard manipulation
libraries.

mm-view in Gnus uses the vcard printing functions defined in N.
Friedmann's vcard.el, when these functions are available. The file
contains functions that format VCard data but is limited to Vcard
version 2.1. At one time, this file was in the Gnus contrib directory.

There is also a package called vcard in GNU ELPA (by E.q
Abrahamsen). The functions in vcard-parse deal with different versions
of VCard but they are not used in Gnus. If the 2 files cannot be
merged, wouldn't it be better to rename one of the 2 libraries and put
them both in the form of ELPA packages, knowing that vcard.el is
referenced by Gnus?
