I think it is better to use current time as a timestamp instead of mtime and not pass the timestamp around as arguments. mtime is always tricky, e.g. if you receive a vCard and then transfer a backup, second device may have have newer timestamp for the same vCard than the first device. Also regarding the time of contact modification, I think it makes more sense to store the date contact was modified if we merge with the changes that come from the network.

For me using the current time is even worse as it changes every time the function is called, while file mtime usually doesn't. But this timestamp anyway was used as a fallback if we don't have timestamps in the vCard. DC doesn't create such vCards anyway. So i decided to use 0 (i.e. UNIX epoch) for vCards w/o timestamps. This means that contacts are created from such vCards, but if a contact already exists and has a gossip key, it is not updated

The only exception if one such vCards is imported after another, then the gossip key is updated because the timestamp is 0 for both

Agree, but currently we don't have a place to store the contact modification time. last_seen isn't suited for this. Probably need to add another one contacts table column
Add a function importing contacts from the given vCard.
