Owner

A new module Multiple fields, with these as its sub-modules, renamed and with their icons:

Today	Becomes	Icon
Several email addresses (`email-addresses`)	Multiple email addresses	`mails`
Several telephone numbers (`phone-numbers`)	Multiple telephone numbers	`mails` as written — see Decisions
Several code repositories (`repositories`)	Multiple code repositories	`git-graph`
Several social profiles (`social-profiles`)	Multiple social profiles	`waypoints`

What exists today

Each is a feature declared in plugins/<name>/__init__.py (email_addresses:56, phone_numbers:35, repositories:22, social_profiles:31), each described as Keep more than one … Switched off, Postulo shows and uses the primary … only.

What would change

A multiple-fields parent declaration; parent="multiple-fields" and the new labels on the four; the icons (#874).
The internal names (email-addresses, …) stay: policy rows, the archive and the plugins record key on them.

Decisions

The telephone icon. The list gives mails for both email and telephone numbers, which reads as a slip. Recommended: phone for telephone numbers.
Siblings not in the list: Several websites (websites) and Messaging contacts (messaging-contacts) are the same kind of feature. Recommended: they join as Multiple websites (globe) and Multiple messaging contacts (message-circle), to be confirmed.

Depends on #873 and #874.

Checked against main at 8c3d03570. From the maintainer's improvements list of 2026-10-07 (plugins).
