@jaikiran in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/12871#issuecomment-1612310113 pointed me to a resource I had not previously found. https://openjdk.org/contribute is fine at a high level but still says things like

which clearly predates Skara, and does not apparently link to anything more current. Whereas this https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/doc/building.md is thorough and discoverable, finding accurate guidelines for proposing pull requests was tough.
