Karsten,
Thank you for the message.
The MobileFrontend extension doesn't support footer customization, except through other extensions (in this case the ContactPage extension) using the "SkinMinervaOutputPageBeforeExec" hook (history https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T68350). The ContactPage extension would need to be modified to implement this hook in order to get it working alongside MobileFrontend for the mobile web presentation.
The Wikimedia Foundation is not actively developing the ContactPage extension or reviewing patches for it, excepting security bugs if they're identified. I'm sorry this isn't terribly helpful. One way such features are sometimes built is through a couple of volunteer engineers. Typically one person writes the patch (e.g., for ContactPage), and then another who has elevated permissions to sign off on the code reviews and approves the patch.

Heiya,
on the talk page of the ContactPage extension [0] it was reported [1] that adding a link to the contact page in the footer section of the skin [2] does not work when using the MobileFrontend extension [3], i.e. the mobile view. I just shows up for the regular desktop view.
It was suggested that we should try asking for help on this mailing list. Since I am not a programmer ...
Help will be appreciated and the solution will be added to the documentation page of the ContactPage extension as soon as it is known.
Cheers Karsten
