Those fields are actually built a bit deeply into SMF for some reason, so it's not completely trivial to change, but it can be done. Low on my to-do list, though, as hugeblack mentioned.
PGP fingerprints are SHA-1, which is insecure. The OpenPGP standard really needs a complete new revision...

I’ve long thought there should be a spot for PGP fingerprint.

Why you think no changes will be made until new forum software be released? Is it technically diffucult to change those dead channels? Do we need a new software for it?
I don't know it's difficult or not, because I haven't managed SMF forum. But it may be difficult to some changes, because Bitcointalk is greatly modified from original SMF version. So, now theymos focus on fixing things and various bugs which are really important. Things like social media links in profile is just tiny inconvenience.I’ve long thought there should be a spot for PGP fingerprint.
Great idea. February 25, 2019, 04:56:21 PM

It's already three years in a making. I don't think it will be implemented soon. Anyway, the benefits of new forum software is just for newbies or casual visitors.

Since i first time read about the new forum software, months ago, i didn't here anything about it or about any progress in the work for it.
What's this forum software? Not SMF? Who is charged for technical developement?
Please tell me what you know about the new forum software.

I've seen similar suggestions in past already. You're right that you barely can find people who use these services. Some of these services doesn't even works anymore because it was discontinued. But I think that no changes will be made until new forum software will be released.

I suggested something similar a few months ago[1] but I think it was lost between theymos's long list. "It seems that the length of that list is thousands of kilometers 
"
If this proposal is adopted by the forum, we will get links to social media sites.

I'm suggesting this after doing something pretty stupid. I used the space where it is possible to put the YIM address to put a Bitcoin address. Unfortunately, there were two missing characters because there is a limit in that space, and I did not realize it.
But it is a fact that most use those spaces to put various information. Telegram addresses, discord addresses, and important information or warnings. In addition to addresses of different coins as ETH. No one uses the programs being shown there.
So my proposal is very simple. Put a free box space where you could put whatever information you thought necessary. Limiting the number of characters according to your ranking.
I'll use the darkstar_ profile as an example. I hope he does not mind. But as you can see, he uses the part intended for Skype to put important information and uses "other contact info" to enter the address of telegram.
My proposal would be to allow users to organize this section in the way they believe to be more informative. The other sections of the profile would continue in the same way.
