I solved step (1) for 1.3.3.14 and 1.3.8. The script is attached to this mail.

One bug was that gotoPage() was called with an illegal page number
(here: 0) because the page number in the loop was calculated wrong.
And I fixed the replacement of quotes which take more than one
character.

The german quotes take 3 characters as I had to specify them.
Maybe there is a better way to set them correctly. I just 
wrote these quotes into a text frame, called getText() and
let the result print into the python console (see below), 
which is my usual approach to find out how special characters
are coded.

# example code; write this into the python console:
from scribus import *
text = getText()
text
