I have a specific question.

This manifesto asks me to implement XEP-0157:
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0157.html

This is to provide contact addresses for various purposes. So far so
obvious. However I'm wondering a bit (and XEP-0157 doesn't answer that)
how I best handle this. This document proposes a long list of possible
contacts named abuse-addresses, admin-addresses,
feedback-addresses, ...
There's no hierarchy that says any of them are mandatory or more
important than the others.

In my case, and probably in many other cases, there is simply one
contact for everything. What's the best practice here?
I wish the XEP would be clearer. It would be more obvious to me to have
one default contact (e.g. default-addresses) and that I set the others
only if they are handled by separate people.

I can of course just set them all, but it seems a bit silly.

I'd propose that the spam manifesto makes the recommendation to
implement XEP-0157 more clear, i.e. either saying "as a minimum you
should set the abuse address" or saying "you should set *all* the
addresses in XEP-0157". In any case, something that is sufficiently
clear that we don't have to argue later whether something complies with
the manifesto.
