Hopefully they don't mind too much that I'm speaking for them, but on behalf of myself and the 7 other committers that make up the Solr Team at Lucidworks, we are also in and eager to help.
We've been trying to chip away at the problem for the past year+, but we need a systemic change to really make it better. I will do what I can to delay or defer some of our Lucidworks planned tasks to free up as much time for people as possible.
