Actually, they're the same answer if you treat multiple negatives as intensifiers.

With not treated logically, (-1)^5 = -1 = your mom. Treating adjacent nots as intensifiers, there are two instances of negation (not a person who did not step) = Neil.

That being said, when I read the sentence out loud, I read the first set of negatives as intensifiers, but I actually read the second with negative scoping "has not (not set foot)", which brings us back to your mom; but mostly, it goes to point out that the sentence is likely to be perceived as ambiguous in actual discourse and to require clarification.
