I support this and I'm willing to help.

The idea of creating a new top-level Apache project, namely
search.apache.org, has been floating around for a while. The idea is
to bring Lucene under this new umbrella, along with incubating Nutch
through the standard Apache incubation process with it aimed at coming
under this same top-level project too.
This message is to kick-start this process in a more formal manner.
Creating a new top-level project to house Lucene, and the effort to
incubate Nutch can occur in parallel, I believe. Nutch will follow
the path outlined here:
http://incubator.apache.org/howtoparticipate.html
The creation of the top-level project has been somewhat outlined here:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/JakartaPMCTopLevelProjectApplication
Most of the effort is administrative, such as selecting a Chair, PMC
members, and putting together a plan of action. Along with this move,
we should also consider switching to Subversion and migrating from
Bugzilla to JIRA.
Are there any folks opposed to these plans?
I personally am happy to champion this effort and I will do what I can
within the time constraints of the rest of my life. What we need are
other volunteers willing to assist with these efforts. First we need
to write the proposals, choose the initial PMC members and Chair (who
I assume should be his majesty Doug, if he's willing to be in that
role), and deal with the flurry of e-mails on the Jakarta PMC e-mail
list.
More technical effort will be needed to manage the publishing of the
website - it would be nice to overhaul the Lucene site - manage the
code repositories, and automate the bulk of the release process so
that we can simply click and release.
What tasks have I overlooked?
Discussion? Suggestions?
