Fortunately there's no issue of ownership. No one feels territorial
about the locking design as it stands right now. Many cooks were
involved in that broth :-). It's just a matter of taking the time to
nail down the details and turn it into code. New contributors are
welcome.
See http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/locking-design.txt for
the current state of that plan. We intend to get back to it soon
(within a month?).

One thing you might want to do is post to the users@ list describing
your locking needs in detail. A lot of people have come up with
strategies for getting what they need even in the absence of
first-class locking support, and would be happy to share. It may
possibly be that you can accomplish what you need with properties and
hooks, for example (or it may not -- without knowing the exact needs,
it's hard to make general statements).
Good luck,
