Hola,
Tim Starling used to be "official" earlier, but now he's the most performance/scalability oriented (...and performing) guy here :) And yes, this list usually contains us all. Or #wikimedia-tech on Freenode, where we usually lurk and respond.

(Also, is there an official contact for this sort of thing? That is: who knows / gets to make the final decision of whether wikipedia can handle more load?)
The "official contacts" would be Brion Vibber brion@pobox.com and Domas Mituzas domas.mituzas@gmail.com. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chief_Technical_Officer http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hardware_Officer
But, asking on this mailing list may be better since others on the development/sys admin team may have opinions on the matter.
