It's not really lack of interest from the core team, just a matter of not being able to do everything. I personally am not aware of any list of patches necessary to make Clojure work on Android (other than CLJ-1472, which has been the subject of some debate across Android and Clojure).
I would love to have all problems filed as tickets in jira and marked with a common label. I just created an Android report based on the label "android" at https://dev.clojure.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=11701. Feel free to tag any issues with that label so they show up there. Would be happy to try to move any issues forward towards release. CLJ-1472 btw would possibly be sidestepped by CLJ-1891 which would pull the use of the locking macro out of the default initialization path (which is why it became an issue when it did). Doesn't really fix the issue but probably makes it ignorable for now. I'm hoping to get CLJ-1891 into Clojure 1.9.
