Dear Amgine,
I am interpreting your mail like this: more structered data in wiktionary would benefit several application. This is why we should use the wiktionary-l mailing to mediate between providers of structured data and consumers such as your project .
I am rephrasing your answer because it was not directly targeting my question.
Should we tell people who are interested in structured data from wiktionary to sign up and post to the wiktionary-I mailing list, which currently has quite a low traffic ?

Please be aware I am supporting a student team who are building a
wiktionary app for Android (and eventually iOS) which is intended to do
some article parsing as a WMF-supported student project. Obviously
more-structured data would be preferable for this project, such as
microformats within Wiktionary articles.

Hello!
I recently found your very interesting projects as I was looking for
semantically rich dumps of Wiktionary, and I wanted to tell you about my
use cases.
I work for the Semantic Web Company (we are also partners in the LOD2
project) and we have a term and phrase extractor, which we want to
improve by enriching the extraction model with their various grammatical
forms of the model's terms.
So additions we are most interested in are declinations, tenses and
synonyms for German and English.
Another use case would be to use Wiktionary data to suggest translations
of controlled terms in a thesaurus. So the available translations would
be great to have in RDF, too.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce the beginning of Steward Election 2012 [1]. We are
now taking nominations from eligible candidates. Interested candidates can
check their eligibility and procedure to submit the nomination on the
guidelines page [2]. We are open to candidate submissions till January 28,
2012, 23:59 (UTC). Questions to the candidates can be submitted until
February 6, 2012, 23:59 (UTC). Guidelines about questioning can also be
found on our guidelines page [2].
This time we are also arranging the confirmation of existing stewards [3].
But the confirmation will begin on February 8, and will finish on February
27, 2012.
Please remember, the voting has not yet begun and will be not until
February 8, 2012, 00:00 (UTC). We will poke you once again when the voting
start.
As you all know steward election is a global event, so we need help from
volunteers to translate necessary pages into languages they speak. For
those who want to help us out with translation, please see our translation
portal [4]. And if you have any queries related to translation or anything
related to the election, you can ask us on the talk page [5]. Alternatively
you are free to poke us on IRC channel #wikimedia-stewards-elections.
For those who are a little bit surprised to see another election in few
months, I want to let you know that previous one (in September-October of
2011) was a special one which we arranged in need. This is the regular one
to elect new stewards and to confirm existing ones.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to any list if you think it will be
useful. :-)
