Come on man, try harder. It's not that hard. Quoting that mail:

The mask, separated by position, is ?u ?l [ab] ?d ??
First position is ?u == upper-case A-Z
Second position is ?l == lower-case a-z
Third position is [ab] == 'a' or 'b' (not supported by HC afaik)
Fourth position is ?d == digit 0-9
Fifth position is actually a static '?' but since the mask tokens begin
with a question mark, a literal one is escaped as '??'.
So how many candidates will this generate?
26 * 26 * 2 * 10 * 1
That's 13520 candidates. Not a lot: It will keep a GPU happy for just
about one millisecond.

I urge you to get familiar with this from a user perspective and then
write that documentation, on our wiki. Yes, you too can contribute!
