As you know, Apache projects are based on contributions from other developers.
I think the best way to add features that you want are to make the changes and submit them to the developers list. As you become more active, I'm sure that someone will sponsor you for full development status.
There are lots of changes going on right now with Lucene, but the core API will probably not be changing much since it has been shown to be a mature, proven project. Most of the contributions right now are in the lucene-sandbox area. These are additions on top of the Lucene API to either extend the functionality or make it easier to access.
Most of the questions from user are how to questions, not feature requests. What functionality are specifically talking about?

Hi -
I was just wondering what is the current development plan status for Lucene? I have been monitoring the developer's list for some time, and have seen very little in the way of CVS commits. I know that may not be an accurate barometer of development activity, but there it is.
Is there any plan for continuing active development of Lucene? How many people are working on it? Why aren't there more, and if so, how can we recruit them?
I am willing to help contribute, but without some other active developers, I'm not sure how useful it will be.
The frustrating thing is that from the users list, we all know that there is a significant amount of interest in the product, and some feature requests, etc.
Thanks
