Oups, I discovered first 8142543, then 8073347, then tried to follow same
process as used year ago but which was requiring modification of original
patch. Now I see the difference. Thank you for the link.

So AFAIU from the above wiki page - first 8142543 should be closed as dup
of 8073347, then 8073347 should be labeled jdk8u-fix-request with a comment
like

Fix Request (jdk8u)
Patch is trivial (documentation-only). Only slight path modification is
required due to repo-consolidation past 8u, after which patch applies
cleanly.
