Scripts to generate Asterisk config files in /etc/asterisk I guess.
Or scripts to log warnings to syslog if the configuration is insecure
(MySQL does that on Debian).
Or maybe scripts to open some ports on a firewall. Well, no, there
should be stop scripts as well then, so forget about the firewall.
OTOH: The scripts could be called with an argument just like init
scripts (start|stop|restart|...).

I'm not quite sure if that would be a useful thing to have or if
such tasks should rather be done by interdependent init scripts, i.e.
Required-Start, Required-Stop, Should-Start, Should-Stop headers.

Right before /etc/init.d/asterisk is about to (re?)start asterisk.

Good question. Obviously either as root because /etc/init.d/asterisk
is run by root or as Asterisk's runuser which is likely to be one
of root or asterisk. root would buy us more flexibility :-)
