Indy is open source.  Anyone can contribute to it.  The two biggest problem
areas are:

1) lack of suitable installation support for C++.  At one time, I was able
to adapt the install scripts from Indy 9 to work with Indy 10.  But I never
got the chance to release them.  I have since moved on to making a ton of
other (unrelated) architectural changes to Indy 10 to address other issues,
so I have yet to get back to a compilable state again.  I want to try
compiling the current snapshot as-is, without all of my changes in place,
but don't have much time to get around to it lately.

2) making sure all of the interfaces work in C++.  For example, I just
recently had to change the interface design for the TIdHash classes slightly
because they were using Delphi features that don't work in C++.
Specifically, they were returning arrays as their return values, which is
something the C++ compiler will not allow, so the Delphi compiler produces
the wrong function signatures when generating the C++ header files for the
classes.
