This is the right place to ask questions about linux md RAID, but mdadm
is probably not what you're looking for, as it's mostly the admin tool.
Most (all?) of the actual RAID implementation is in the linux kernel, so
if you wanted to add a completely new RAID type you'd want the kernel
source code.

The primary web documentation is here:

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/

There are many links to other helpful resources.
