Is there any interest in this feature?
I am setting the status to Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If there is no interest, this may be closed after three months.
A simple and useful addition to the contact module would be a nice theme for a link direct to the contact page. The attached patch provides an option for either a text link or a nice icon link, and it tests whether access should be allowed and displays nothing if there is no access.
Once there is a theme for the contact page link it can be used in several ways:
1) As an optional link on nodes to make it easy to contact the author.
2) As an additional link on the user profile page to make it easier to contact the user.
3) Displayed after the user or author name in custom templates and views.
The current contact process is to click on a link to go to the user page. Look around and try to figure out how to contact the user. If you notice that there's a tab (if you're not used to Drupal you may not), click on the tab that will get you to the contact form. We found in the usability studies that people don't 'see' tabs, so it's pretty easy to miss. On a site where you want to encourage people to contact you or your staff, this is harder than it should be. On a site where you don't want any contact, you can leave things the way they are :-)
In searching whether anyone had already proposed this, I found a lot of threads where people were trying (unsuccessfully) to figure out how to do it, so I think this might be useful.
This is shamelessly ripped from code created by Zack Rosen and joshk in a proposed Views patch #154865: Add field to 'contact' node authors → .

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
