They also restructured the patch set into a smaller set since rereviewing years of their incremental patches would be far more time consuming. It has been presented over the past year or so at various conferences. Although he had done a good job presenting on cifsd at the big Storage Developer Conference last year (and also SambaXP etc.), a lot had improved recently (e.g. it already passes more xfstests than many servers). There have been posts about cifsd on samba-technical and linux-cifs where issues overlapped (e.g. compatibility with attributes that Samba currently saves as xattrs) so the project is well known at least among the samba community (and apparently it is commonly shipped in various embedded devices already). There is also a public mailing list for the project so some of the discussion among the core group of developers working on it most is probably on that. I have been focused on testing it with Linux client. See e.g. the run from a couple days ago http://smb3-test-rhel-75.southcentralus.cloudapp.azure.com/#/builders/8/builds/26 and I have been pleasantly surprised at the progress, and have been trying to make sure the test results are very visible, but as Ronnie and others have mentioned, cifsd has already been very very useful for testing the client (Samba is harder to tweak for testing).
