Hi Christian,
thanks a lot for this. It was definitely helpful. Sorry, I did not get
back to this earlier.
I do have some issues with this, still -- see my inline comments below.

I do not find this fiddly. This really works as I would expect. At
least, if I get past the issues below.

Field values do not behave, as I would like:
1. I do not get anything in the author field (and would like
the #+AUTHOR value)
2. (The same happens for email)
3. The date always shows the current date, but I'd like to see
the #+DATE: value.

I haven't tried that yet. But I will.

It would be nice to have this happen somehow.

It helps a lot already thanks so much!
If there is a possibility to get the fields automatically filled with
the orgmode values, then the only manual intervention (in therory)
should be to switch the first page into OrgFirstPage style.
