I cannot offer any help on using mkraid, except to avoid it :-( mdadm is (I believe and others agree) much easier to use. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
It is definately being maintained, not that it has needed much...

Again, I cannot comment on this directory, but would there be any change of getting somewhere on kernel.org to distribute mdadm??
