Michiel, best to check directly with W3C Team.

You may want to look at Solid CG's Contribution Guidelines:

https://github.com/w3c-cg/solid/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#vocabulary-management

and perhaps more specifically the referenced:

https://www.w3.org/2016/08/namespaces/

That's roughly the most reasonable path considering that the SW IG is 
closed. Other changes (additions or errata) were done in the same way to 
vocabularies that are no longer maintained by a W3C Group or a BG/CG.

So, propose the actual changes somewhere, e.g., 
https://github.com/solid/vocab or perhaps https://github.com/w3c/ns/ 
(although that's not where development on vcard happens), and then 
signal the wider community (as you've done with this mailing list) for 
review.

BTW, AFAIK, the use of missing vcard:AddressBook was initially raised in:

https://github.com/solid/type-indexes/issues/35
