No one is listed in MAINTAINERS AFAICT.  D-Link officially declared
they no longer support the driver.  Edward Peng, a D-Link employee
judging by his email address and whois is the author listed in the
file, does not react to email (or is currently on vacation--if a late
response arrives, I'll let you know).

The last committers performed mechanical changes only.  I'm not even
sure if those were tested using actual hardware.

There's no commit/patch from the origial author in the Linux GIT
history, so I think he's inactive.
