Could you please provide some pointers where I'd have to look in the source to make MediaWiki read/write userdata (with that I mean things like password, username etc.) from the table using my table's structure?

Look at includes/User.php. It seems to be fairly well encapsulated there. But I don't think it will be simple.

I took a different approach, and extended the mw_users table with the additional user data I needed. It took a lot of changes to User.php and SpecialPreferences.php, but it's working now. Users can update their own address, phone, etc. info.
