Is there a standard HTTP-header that is used for communicating license metadata with an HTTP server response?

The Link header (of RFC2068) seems the most natural to use:

Link: <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0>; rel="copyright"; title="Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 License"

(The ; title="..." clause can be omitted.)

Also, is there developer mailing-list that I can join?

It seems you're on it.
