You can ask him to submit it to kernel.
Or you can take it, keep his authorship and send it to:

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f scripts/coccinelle/
Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr> (supporter:COCCINELLE/Semantic
Patches (SmPL))
Gilles Muller <Gilles.Muller@...6.fr> (supporter:COCCINELLE/Semantic
