There is no single maintainer of the lockd code. Neil Brown and I tend to share responsibility for pushing these patches to Linus & Marcelo.
FYI: You will find a number of people who would be interested in discussing this on the NFS mail list NFS@lists.sourceforge.net (although a lot of us are subscribed to linux kernel too). Please just trot out your patches on either of these lists, and show us what you've found 8-)
