Note that this information is not in just any version of JLS7.   I have two versions that both say:

Specification: JSR-000901 Java™ Language Specification ("Specification")
Version: 7
Status: Final Release
Release: July 2011

The one with the information is dated 2013-02-28 on the cover page and has 2013 copyright.

The new version includes the text:

Readers may send feedback about errors and ambiguities in The Java Language
Specification to jls-comments_ww at oracle.com.
