How to contribute to Tweakers' pricewatch? (lemmy.ml)

Hi! I have a question on Tweakers, which many of you probably know about or use. I've been using it for years, including the pricewatch/wishlist functionality, but I've never found a way to contribute to its pricewatch functionality. Is anyone here doing that?

Specifically:

I'd like to be able to add or remove a tweakers<->external website association. Such as this: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1635184/varta-lcd-multi-charger+.html#section-prices The association with the amazon product is wrong here, but there's nothing I can do to fix that.
I'd like to be able to link already existing tweakers pages to new external shop pages.
Ideally also be able to add new items, etc.

It's probably possible, because if tweakers already has integration with a website for some product, then probably the same "price watch" functionality can be applied to other products within the same shop as well - assuming somebody links the correct products of course.

Thoughts?

Very interesting, thanks for all the info! I'm slowly reading it and processing.

One remark so far is that Tweakers is actually a for-profit organisation, from what I understand. On their website they say:

Tweakers bestaat al sinds 1998 en is een commercieel bedrijf.

... DPG Media, de eigenaar van Tweakers, verlangt dat we winstgevend zijn. Hoe we dat doen, is echter aan onszelf.

https://tweakers.net/info/over-tweakers/verdienmodel/

My current understanding is that they are for-profit, but claim to be (and I believe them) to be independent. E.g. the reviews are unbiased. I need to read more. So far I've only been using their pricewatch functionality and product search, and for tests I've deferred to my paid subscription for German Stiftungwarentest (test.de). Maybe I'll take a good look at tweakers for electronics testing, too.
