Contact is always a person. It can be a role (WG-chair email, IETF 
chair, etc.), but it's always a person -- typically the person who 
issues the request for the port, FWIW.

The doc needs to have sufficient information for IANA handling of the 
request, but the info in the doc on that point can change if needed 
(e.g., it's not unusual to ask for a port number and have the final RFC 
text include that value, which is assigned before AUTH48).

Port requests for IETF docs typically happen during the final 
assignment, and are generated automatically from the IANA actions 
portion of the doc.

It would be useful to know (off-list if desired) why you have this view; 
the conversion was intended to make the information more useful to 
programs (e.g., than 'screen scraping'), more complete, and sortable on 
each field to show relationships more clearly.
