i am working on a GUI and i noticed that when the remote parties
register to asterisk, asterisk doesn't know anything they tell it
except the contact.

an operator may decide not to rely on that info, but
dropping it unconditionally seems too much.

In any case it's just a trivial patch to implement, and if you are
worried about memory bloat I can always move the
peer descriptor to use AST_STRING_FIELDs to recover a lot of
memory (there are 19 large strings now in the descriptor).
