Fwd: Reg : How to contribute

[Lance J. Andersen]

I do agree with Ulf

I think it would be useful to have webrev available from the openjdk 
project  home page or a least a pointer to where to obtain a copy.

While you are correct you can find copies via google search,  having the 
tools that are useful accessible from the openjdk site would be a plus
