Well, at least ABook is moving in "a" direction. ;-)

I don't even remember the specifics of this patch, but I think I recall
spending some time getting an updated ebuild into Gentoo Portage with the vcard
patch.

Could be, I was using it to import some old vcard files when migrating to
ABook.

Since then (as previously mentioned), I've used an incantation of cat/grep
and vim alongside abook as previously mentioned.  (Which ever is quicker
via command line to get a phone/email address.)... so the patch is probably
good enough for people importing data?
