Unfortunately not, Lua is a new thing in DT (it's in master only) and I was
hoping the community would help me provide sample exporters... Especially
people like you that already have some programation knowledge to bootstrap
the process

For archival puprose I really thing raw+xmp is good enough, it can be
easily reimported and I don't really see how the connection between the
file could be lost (in the case of archival the archive is usually never
touched)
