Feature requests are for the latest version only. I'm not sure why this should be in core. If a user has their contact form disabled, really the only person that should be able override that is someone that has the 'administer users' permission.

BTW, you don't need to use a tag with the same value as the issues's component, it's unnecessary.

Moderators don`t need permission to administer users, but ability to contact any users may be necessary in some situations.

Ok, still, feature requests are only accepted for the current development version (7.x) and will not be accepted for 6.x since it only accepts bug fixes.

+1 (fine-grained permission)

let's get rid of those "administer" permissions.

and i would rather call it "contact all users" or "access disabled personal contact forms" (albeit a bit long...)

There may be overlap with #371621: Create permission to use personal contact form, #138574: Add "create personal contact form" permission, #58224: Allow anonymous users access to a members personal contact form. #58224: Allow anonymous users access to a members personal contact form seems to be the current issue for changes in the permissions for the contact form. Maybe this issue could or should be rolled into that one?

In fact, I'll mark it a duplicate. Someone can re-open if there is some reason why this can't be merged into that issue.
