I'll try to contact the author and see what comes up. Supposing the userlock module is re-licensed (or a suitable replacement is contributed and accepted), is there any merit to: Promoting the user lock wrappers out of contrib (plus fleshing them out a bit)? Adjusting the pg_locks view to return the user lock specific information (or, as Alvaro suggested, to add a new view)? A general documentation update wrt user locks?
