I'd suggest Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org> or Camille Begnis
<camille@mandrakesoft.com>.

Both of them are active on the mailing lists and seem to have a lot of
knowledge and enthusiasm about DocBook and a lot of hands-on experience.

Yann has the experience of having built a DocBook subset, Alcovebook
(and released it publicly), and Camille has managed the development of
an open-source DocBook-based content-management system, Borges.

I've corresponded with both of them in the past, and, if you want, can
contact them to find out if they might be available/interested. Just let
me know.
