My idea is:  
Create a contact with email address when email is fetched from inbox and doesn’t match contacts emails

I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea:  
everyone

Why I think they would benefit from this idea:  
don’t have to create contact manually

Any code or resources to support this idea:

Are you willing to work on this idea?:

What skills and resources do you need to explore this further?
