You can use the Github mirror (apache/lucene-solr) to make your changes,
and then make a PR against apache/lucene-solr. If you mention the ticket
in the PR, it should show both in the JIRA comments, and on this mailing
list. Hopefully your patch is interesting to a committer, who will pick
it up and, perhaps after discussion, merge it into the main Apache Git
repo for Lucene/Solr.
