I would say: let it grow. So far we have a few questions (which will
soon have some more answers) that fit on a single page. Once the page
becomes to long, we can start thinking about splitting things up /
reorganising it. That's so nice about a wiki, it's done quickly.

Regarding mailing list replies: Feel free to put in links of related
replies as a starting point. I would prefer links over copy&pasted texts
here, as mails are often written in a different style than documentation
pages.

Good question. Bruno, I think I asked something similar before, but I
don't recall any answer ATM. Some spatially separated backup system
would be good for the wiki.
