Please can someone tell me the number of the rfc mandating (or
suggesting - which is it?) the use of "webmaster@" as contact address
for domains with a web presence?

That would be RFC2142. Whether it mandates, or merely specifies, the
standard role addresses is a matter of debate (as, indeed, is the
question of whether it is still relevant anyway).

Imposible to tell. rfc 2142 (authoring of) pre-dates rfc 2119
(publication of), so the compliance terms aren't formally defined.
"organizations which support email exchanges with the
Internet are encouraged to support AT LEAST each mailbox name "
So that's a strong recomendation, but not a MUST or maybe even a SHOULD

I was thinking about "requesting" as in rfc "Request For Comments".
