Someone in the PR had mentioned that "alerts" is a bit off because the proposal 
does not really manage alerts and it feels too far out of solr's domain. The 
current approach, much like percolator, simply exposes a request/response API 
that then can be **used** by an alerting system (request/stream<response> could 
also be considered if there is worry about scaling the number of queries one 
request can match).

I've seen many homegrown/complex solutions of percolator-type functionality so 
even this narrower "inverted search" solution has **some** use but admittedly 
this is a niche area. It might not really gain traction unless it is marketed 
the right way as there are probably very few solr users that happen to be 
thinking about revamping their saved-search platform in any given year. Given 
that, what do you think I can do to reach them? :-)

I am trying my best to talk about this within my firm but the sample is 
obviously smaller.

I think I'd prefer a more self-descriptive name than "Luwak", which is just
a product name that was decided a while ago.

I kind of like "search-alerts". "query-alerts" sounds like alerting on
query metrics, but IMO "search-alerts" doesn't come with the same baggage.

Luwak is fine though if everyone agrees on that.

I don't want to bikeshed here, but I'm not sure this is a fair
assessment of what happened with the analytics module.
Sure there wasn't a ton of development, but in general it was feature rich
and had very little feature requests.
It was removed in 10, because a lack of user usage, not because it was
"abandoned" IMO. If there were requests from users
to keep it or improve it, then it would be a much different story. The
whole "thrown over the wall" comment is fair, but
not particularly relevant to this PR, which is being worked on in public.

I think this is certainly something that can start in the sandbox and move
into the main repo once it's clear that there is interest from
multiple committers and community members in using and maintaining it.
