Hi André, just a few thoughts on certain aspects of this interesting-looking subject...

(what I don't like here is the word "help", as it suggests "doing minor- value work", so the problem or part of the problem might be the at least somewhat "looking down" attitude of the developers?) > For this, we > need to make people aware (what I did was just a test of what people > are already aware). I like the idea to "make aware" as a first step. However... If you mean: "How to make implementing new features more attractive to mixed teams instead of one-person-only?" then I think, this might be a very sensible area as one of the major motivations of at least part of the developers might be "to be the one who implements a feature". So your question might be "who is willing to pioneer a mixed development approach?"
