I looked at https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk-updates/ ("JDK 17 Updates") 
which sent me to https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/JDKUpdates/JDK+17u

The wiki page says:

"Should you not be willing or not be able to drive a fix into JDK 17 
updates, you can still suggest changes by dropping a mail to the 
jdk-updates-dev mailing list. But by only doing that, you are at the 
grace of the community to pick up your suggestion."
