Comment (by mordauk):

 I'd vote against turning the contactmethods filter into an API, but fully
 support creating an API for adding fields to the user profile pages.

 I think the idea that user profile pages only contain "contact methods" is
 silly, so if an API is to be created for adding any fields to the profile,
 it should be a generic API that can be used for adding contact methods,
 biography details, personal preferences, etc.
