Dears, I've made a request to take over The Solr Package to the lead maintainer with no reply, since there were no activity in the package since 2011, I have implemented some features that you can see in the past email, in a standalone repository at github. I would like to expose those features to the main repository so that people can benefit from them. Would you allow me to do that?
Thank you, Best Regards, Omar A.
