It's someone over on canalworld.net - a quick search there will turn up contact 
details.

If you do release it, I'd very, very strongly recommend that you use a 
dedicated data licence 
(ideally the Open Database Licence - 
http://www.opencontentlawyer.com/open-data/open-
database-licence/ , but there's a newer version coming soon), not a software 
licence like the 
GPL. We started with an inappropriate generic (Creative Commons) licence at 
OpenStreetMap 
and it's caused no end of difficulties.
