One thing I found when I started at Commons is that things often take longer than planned ;-) Your input is most welcome, especially as at present I have no real ideas for how to achieve the more advanced lookups. Unfortunately I can't offer committer rights, as Apache is very fussy about this (although frankly over time, I've begun to doubt how wise this is).
Anyway, what you can do is to join the mailing list, if you haven't already ([EMAIL PROTECTED], emails prefixed by [convert]) . Then submit your code as a patch to Bugzilla if you can (is it yours to donate to Apache?). Everyone should also take a good look at the new website and the new code, which I'm hoping will be the basis for things going forward.
