Indeed, the situation looks like a mess.  Luckily there should be no big
difficulty adding the vcard.el code by Noah Friedmann to the `vcard`
package in GNU ELPA (so as to resolve the naming conflict).

Beside resolving the naming conflict, the code would benefit from some
love, as well.  You seem to be a good candidate to try and tackle this.
