 Sorry to be stupid, put I can't find much
 documentation on the udev/links.conf file. Would I add
 the following to links.conf in order to create
 /dev/md0?

 M md0b 9 0

Probably 
M md

 I'm not sure of the distinction between L, D, M in the
 file, though I assume L is link, D is directory and M
 is some sort of make.

L creates a link
D creates a directory
M creates device nodes using /sbin/MAKEDEV

Check /etc/init.d/udev for more info. Especially the make_extra_nodes()
function. 
It's been awhile since I synced up with the debian packages (I'm using
the udev originals), so I'm not sure how much has changed (if any).

 Whats the udev email list location?
 Is there any irc channel for udev, by udev developers, or experts?

http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net (I know it says hotplug, but udev
seems to share it with hotplug for this list).
I really don't know any IRC channels.

 I'm running Sarge with a 2.6.5 kernel. I'm trying to
 create a RAID 5 array of three disks (though for
 initial setup I'm only using two of three). When I
 reboot, udev does not re-create my /dev/md0 device, so
 the RAID array won't start. Any suggestions?

udev won't create the md? devices because the RAID never notifies
udev/sysfs about it.  The just have a thread about on the udev mailing
list.  You need to create the md? devices manually by putting it in the
/etc/udev/links.conf file
