interesting idea, but how can the user contact the owner when he currently doesn't have an active internet connection ?

I guess the user has to contact the owner from a different device that has internet access.

and why not just rename my SSID to [email protected] ?

How about some software which actually lets the other person with no internet access contact me ( via WiFi ), of course security should be taken care of .

That's an interesting point. Of course it would be more complex, but it does seem like a good idea to go a step further and provide a WiFi landing page to have the contact form on.
