Fwd: OpenJdk Mirror for Github

Hi Dalibor,

Thanx for joining the conversation!
I'm not a huge fan of github so will not protect it, but got couple of 
questions:

Other than the process was established long long before github/bitbucket 
got usable, are there any strong reasons not to work with pull requests?

But that was about linux kernel development, from quite a stubborn 
person (who even wrote his own vcs for his own needs!). Are there some 
specific things required by openjdk development that are missing on 
github or bitbucket?
