The original writer Pedro Roque has left the community. Alexey Kuznetsov
and others have made quite a few enhancements over the years. Current
"official" maintainers are listed in MAINTAINERS file. See the source
code in net/ipv6/ headers for details on changes (not all are listed of
course).
USAGI Project (http://www.linux-ipv6.org/) is working on IPv6 too. So far
they've submitted quite a few smaller fixes, but more complete integration
is an open issue yet.
Unfortunately there does not exist a complete "IMPLEMENTATION" document,
describing all the supported RFC's etc. and motivations behind different
design decisions.
Source Code Is Your Friend. ;-)
