You need to ask specific questions.

You use what ever backend the password is already using, if possible.
If the passwords are stored in sql, then you store the hint+address in sql.
If the passwords are in ldap, you store the hint+address in ldap.  If you
use some method like smb, then you probably don't support hints.  It might
take some thought to figure this kind of stuff out for different drivers,
and you may need to just provide the code for one backend driver and let
others port it to the other applicable drivers.
