contacts @1.1_1: Outdated and buggy, no maintainer, should be replaced or additional port added

Description (last modified by herrbischoff (Marcel Bischoff))

This application has been last updated in 2003. It does not deal properly with UTF-8 characters and does not integrate easily into Mutt. There are several alternatives, the most recent being https://github.com/keith/contacts-cli, which checks all the boxes, although loses some functionality. Therefore it may be best to add a new port called "contacts-cli" for this, which cannot be installed at the same time as "contacts".

Homebrew exchanged "contacts" for a newer fork (https://github.com/dhess), which is also unmaintained since 2014 but works with UTF-8 characters. Additionally, there is a "contacts-cli" formula for the aforementioned alternative.
