So we end up with extending the inet(6)num template to include:

abuse:	[optional]  [multiple]

Extend mntner template with:

abuse: [mandatory]  [multiple]

And possibly modify the database software to always list the abuse: field
when not present on the inetnum resolve the mnt-by: and include the
information in the inetnum response.

The user will always find at least one abuse: line (or whatever we decide
to call it) directly on the inet(6)num.

The only thing we need then is to come up with a default on the mandatory
field. I hereby suggest to copy them from the (mandatory) upd-to
attributes. This will probably get people to update their mntner to
include the correct information in short time.
