I've also got my version of parallel xz: https://github.com/vasi/pixz
It doesn't require use of large temporary files like pxz, and the xz files it produces can also be decompressed in parallel.

The only thing I wish for is more documentation and inclusion in xz-utils (which I know is not up to you, but I'm hopeful).
The author of xz is working on a parallel compression implementation of his own, which will hopefully be in future versions of xz.
Can I suggest adding installation packages for: brew ubuntu (at least through launchpad)
