If I this understand Stephan correctly he has written a language
description file for lua. Such files are like e.g. a language file
for babel or a biblatex style. I don't think that it would do much
harm to put such contribuations in some external package. There is
e.g. the lstaddons package from Martin Scharrer. Perhaps he is
willing to give such contribuations a shelter. 

But one would probably will have to patch the original listings.cfg
so that it loads an additional lstlangcontrib.sty. Using
lstlang0.sty could be dangerous as it could be in use locally.
