SL-3 on Wireless Bulb?

Is there a way to trigger the SL-3 shutter using the Bulb setting wirelessly? Both Leica FOTOS and Capture One mobile allow the full range of shutter speeds to be used except B and T. (Some other camera maker apps do allow this, so I'm pretty sure it's not a technical issue.) 

Wireless devices such as the Pluto Trigger (which I own), MIOPS and Pocket Wizard can trigger using the Bulb setting, but they require a cable to be plugged into a remote release port of the camera. The SL-3 has a remote release port, but there don't seem to be compatible remote release devices for that tiny port, either from Leica or any third parties.

It would seem that if I had the proper cable I could use my Pluto Trigger (which connects to the Pluto with a standard 2.5mm sub-mini plug). Does anyone know what the name/size/type of connector end is that goes into the Leica release port? I would be willing to have a custom cable made if I knew what type of connector to ask for.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
