Once they 'fix' the Delphi 7 VCL a lot of the work may be applicable to Lazarus.

No, since they still would be under copyright. Which is also why the effort is silly, unless they have written permission from Borland. It's still publishing copyrighted material.
The various Kylix resurrectionists tried to get permission for something like that for years, it was constantly dangled in front of them as "any minute now". It never came.

It's their problem. If they do get something together surely a comparison of the code they publish with the LCL may suggest possible bug fixes and enhancements to the LCL.
I'm not suggesting any line for line copying by the Lazarus team.

According to their web page the project is closed now.

If you expect something from them, you are making it your own problem :-)

Possible, but seeing is believing, after the experiences (and expectations of-) similar projects for the CLX
