I got a really great feedback to my request.
A few people suggested their help with Lotes Notes and
one of them became the application owner.
However you still can submit bug reports for Lotus
Notes to make it run on Wine even better. More people
do this - better the application runs on Wine.

Regards,
Andriy Palamarchuk

Yes, especially if you know Notes well, it could be interesting for you
to work with the Notes maintainer (who I guess also knows Notes quite
well). Between you two you should get a pretty good coverage.

Part of the job of an application maintainer is to build up a knowledge
of the common issues with the application, and act as a repository of
sorts for workarounds and tricks, an ideally put these on the
applications's page in the Application Database (not sure if this part
is very feasible right now).

Cool ! Finally someone who's offering help !
You might want to get in touch with Daniel Schwarz .
He's been very close to Notes development, and he volunteered to do the
application owner thing.
As Notes is an incredibly important application (we just had lotsa inquiries
on our Linuxtag fair !), having at least two people take care about it
is definitely great help.
Your job would be to make sure it runs properly, that there are no regressions
that need to be fixed again, and also to make sure that people feel good
running Notes on Wine ;-)
