1. Best practices

Your config.xml file seems like this:

    
        
            0.1.0
        
    
    
        
            
                
                    
                        Mynamespace_CustomContacts
                    
                
            
        
    

2. Bad practices

You can move your controller in app/local/Mage/Contacts/controllers/IndexController.php for a hard override.

And don't forget to enable your module in xml file in app/etc/modules directory
