You really have to just pick a problem, dive into the code and learn it bit by bit through exploration. The code base changes fast enough that anything published will be out of date in short order.
Here's a suggestion: Take a look at the coverage reports for unit tests, pick some code that doesn't have coverage and write a test. Believe me, that'll get you familiar with _something_ pretty quickly, and something like that provides a focus. It's a mistake to try to understand all of Lucene IMO, that'll take years.
