I'm in favor of deprecating contact:phone now (and the other
contact:XXX duplicates later), but I don't know about your other
proposed changes.
For example, requiring the country code in all phone numbers would not
be standard practice in Indonesia or the USA, since people in these
countries very rarely make phone calls to other countries.
It is not 'standard practice' in Australia, New Zealand either.. but it is what
is done in OSM to enable people from outside that country to call that number.
So in the Australian Tagging Guidelines that are instructions on how to tag
phone numbers in OSM using +61.
See
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Phone_Numbers
I would suggest similar guides for Indonesia and America.
Where a phone number in OSM does not start with a '+' that can mean it needs
some attention, with some exceptions as a few phone numbers are not accessible
from outside the particular country.

Hey,
I finally opened the voting "Make `phone` Tag default for tagging
telephone numbers in OSM and deprecating contact:phone`. Please place
your voice at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Discussions/tagging/contact:phone_or_phone.
The Voting will be closed at 5th Novembre 2019. Please read the Proposal
page carefully before waiting because the specification (everything in the
`content` section) there will be the specification shown in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:phone
Proposal description:
This proposal tends to make Key:phone the official
tag for tagging phone numbers and to deprecate the tag contact:phone
which is used less. It's bad to have two keys for the exact same
purpose in use.
