Description
See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/contacts-provider#ObsoleteData
We should probably start keeping track of which recipients have been contacted how often ourselves. Then use that data to order the recipient auto-complete suggestions.

Research direction
Read the linked Contacts Provider documentation and related issue #1006 first. Trace the existing Contacts Provider usage and recipient auto-complete suggestions, then define the project-owned usage data and ordering behavior; done means usage is no longer read from or written to Contacts Provider and suggestions use the replacement data.
