Hi Ivan, It's best to just add a comment onto LUCENE-466 with your ideas/questions specific to that issue; other more general questions should be sent to this dev list.
Since the big part of that issue (supporting minShouldMatch in BooleanQuery) was already done, I think fixing query parsers to handle it is important but isn't an entire GSoC project? Or, perhaps it is (we have quite a few query parsers now...). But I think doing another improvement in addition would be the right amount... The mentor assignment is somewhat ad-hoc, sort of like dating ;) You should add comments to the issue, adding ideas, asking for suggestions, asking if anyone will mentor, and then see if any possible mentors respond. I'm not sure why the issue is assigned to Yonik; I don't think he's actually working on it. You could try looking at past GSoC proposals at Apache Lucene to get an idea?
