There's really no "roadmap". If you have big enough need you can work on this patch and submit of for someone to commit but it looks like Greg had other priorities get in the way so you can't count on anyone else carrying this forward..
If you want to integrate the patch, you check out the source, apply the patch to the source and compile. It may not apply cleanly, see the instructions at: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute But this patch doesn't really look like it is doing what you want either, it's the stats component which provides summary information. As for a normalized dollar amount, that's really just converting all prices to USD or EUR or whatever. If you also stored a value for what type the original document is in, you can display the correct currency for documents. The problem here of course is that the normalization is done at index time, and the exchange rates change.....
