Ishan, I’ve added you as a contributor on LUCENE and SOLR.

The “whitelist all past contributors” thing makes sense, except that a) we 
don’t have direct access to that list, so some form of crawl/scrape would be 
required; b) in another message on this thread on infrastructure@a.o, the HBASE 
project’s list grew so large that it crashed browsers; and c) Infra said they 
would lift the temporary ban (like yesterday? hmm…) so hopefully soon it’ll be 
a non-issue.
