In our quest for a more better admin IA (#546956: [meta-issue] Overhaul of Information Architecture), we encountered the settings page for the contact form and came up with a way to get rid of this page by:
1. Removing the UI for the hourly treshold, replace it with a sensible default (and leave it to relevant contribs like Private messages modules to expose it again)
2. Move the 'enable contact form for new users' setting to the 'People and permissions' category.
This issue concerns only point 2:
Move the 'enable contact form for new users' setting to the 'People and permissions' category.

Bojhan commentedYou can put it under User settings, now named Users (we know). This applies only to the checkbox
[x] Enable contact form for new users.
It can be in its own field set or not.

meba commentedAttaching a patch removing the screen. This needs work as some tests are still failing. However, I didn't find the cause yet and I need to go, somebody might want to take over.

dave reid1. You're removing the menu path for admin/settings/contact but leaving contact_admin_settings(). This is now orphaned.
2. Please use hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
3. The tests still try to submit the contact_hourly_threshold field, which is not moved to the user settings in the patch. Breakage.

gábor hojtsyUhm, was there no use of "contact_hourly_threshold" in contact.module, contact.admin.inc?
Comment #11
gábor hojtsyHum, ok figured it is handled elsewhere, disregard.
Comment #12
gábor hojtsyGiven the resistance to remove the other setting, moving the settings page at #564576: D7UX IA: Roll back contact module settings page tab.
