You can specify this so that IANA collects the information and thus can
follow up if needed, but where the registry does not display this
information.   I understand that the authors of RFC 8126 are working on a
bis that will make this much more common, if not the default.

You can also split the contact information from the change controller, if
you want to have, say Joe be the contact but Example Corp be the change
controller.  There's also a presumption that if the change controller is
gone that the change controller for the entire registry (usually the IESG)
can make a determination of what to do in the case that a change is needed.
For many registries this amounts to "do nothing" since there is no scarcity
of code points.  In the case of scarcity, that's how you get re-use when
the change controllers are gone.
