Hi Ivan, You do have rights to submit fixes to Lucene - everyone does!
Here's how: http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowToContribute Please create a patch, create an issue in JIRA, and then attach the patch to the JIRA issue. When you do this, you are asked to state that you grant license to your work; this is very important for Apache software projects. All JIRA issue creation and modification events are automatically posted to the d...@lucene.apache.org mailing list, so all Lucene developers will see your work.
