I had requested new test in the webrev during my review. That really 
helps me, a reviewer, to keep track what has been changed easily. It 
will also give you an idea how many revisions this review involves when 
you started for a code review (as opposed to asking for "how to fix this 
issue").

I was asked to read the regression test that is attached to JBS issue [1]
I was asked to review a diff (cut-n-paste) on the mail when I requested 
a webrev to include a regression test. [2]

On Jan 31, 2019 [3], I includeed a link to the OpenJDK developer guide 
and I was hoping you read the guideline and be familiar with it which 
should help you contributing to the OpenJDK.

I was disappointed to get your conclusion:

I had helped as much as I can to sponsor this patch even if you refused 
what I requested to help my review easier.

I expected that you ran JDK regression tests on local machine rather 
than I caught it for you.  Is that what you expected a reviewer to do it 
for you?   Won't you consider this a new revision to your patch?  You 
can do anything you like and tells a reviewer that I should be smart 
enough to identify the diff in the previous patch. I am not an educator 
and excuse me if my response is not what you are looking for.
