Hi Dirk, I suggest asking this question on the specific talkpage there, instead. (Where I see you're already actively engaged.)
This mailing list is for disseminating /known/ information across the Wikimedia languages/projects, and is not for asking technical questions - I.e. the people who know the answers to your specific questions are not likely to be subscribed here.
