They are quite active. They post a bit, and they definitely read the forums. If you really want to talk to one of them, try them on IRC (irc.uplinkcorp.net #darwinia). They hang out there too.

I don't know of any speech patch. Sorry.

Same thing on buildings (like laserfences).
Is there any chance they'll explain how to work the cutscene-editor without crashing Darwinia (the other panel with the camera options).
It is possible, though most of the information that you wil ever need is in Icepick's guide. He keeps it quite up to date.
Here is a link. My impression of IV (and I could be wrong) is that they are perfectly willing to put out a game, and let the users figure out how all of the little bits and pieces work. If you want to make a mod, they give you the basic tools that you need, but rely upon your own intelligence to figure out the rest (or at least the intelligence of other people in the community).

Feel free to make requests, but understand that nothing new is likely to be added in the near future. IV are still working to get the Mac version out, then I imagine that they are going to be working on patching up some problems (like the memory leak in some of the later levels). Even then, I am uncertain as to how likely other additions might be. You would have to be more specific, and may want to read
this.
