I Googled and didn't find anything either except references to 'Maggelity'.
Christophe, I believe, is the inventor of Maggel, and it's one of the group
of conlangs known as frankenlangs: these are conlangs that are especially
grotesque in some way. (Klingon is the most famous of this class.) With
Maggel, it's an extremely unpredictable and incongruent orthography. It's a
parody of English in a way.

The name itself isn't even pronounced how it's written. And I can't remember
how it's pronounced.
