On what issues could I help clean up for JDK 9

Hi,

I'd suggest start looking at requests for code cleanup, performance 
optimizations or similar that doesn't
alter any public semantics (such as adding public APIs or subtly 
changing the behavior of existing
ones).

A few simple JBS searches lists at least some things that look tempting:

"Cleanup":
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22Cleanup%22%20%26%26%20status%20in%20(Open)%20and%20assignee%20is%20EMPTY

"Optimize":
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?jql=text%20~%20%22Cleanup%22%20%26%26%20status%20in%20(Open)%20and%20assignee%20is%20EMPTY

Some, mostly hotspot engineers, use the "starter" label to mark issues 
thought to be good candidates for someone new to the project (this 
doesn't necessarily
mean "easy"):
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/issues/?jql=labels%20in%20(%22starter%22)%20%26%26%20status%20in%20(Open)

Hope this helps!
