On IN-ADDR.ARPA records, I'd argue that the SOA is a better contact than
abuse@/postmaster@ the domain the PTR specifies.

For example if I have a customer scottsdots.com the SOA on the
IN-ADDR.ARPA zone would be hostmaster@???, which is correct
because abuse@??? and postmaster@??? most likely go
to (if anyone) an semi computer literate windows admin.

Now extracting an abuse address with the domain in the SOA might be a
better solution, but the SOA of an IN_ADDR.ARPA domain must, by
definition, be able to act as a point of contact. For non IN-ADDR zones,
abuse@domain is probably the best way to go.
