8214761: Bug in parallel Kahan summation implementation

[Chris Dennis]

I’m pretty certain that is meant to be me but ‘chris_dennis’ is a now defunct java.net username and not a Github one. The username appears in this list https://oca.opensource.oracle.com/?ojr=old-contrib-list#t too as: “Terracotta Inc. (Christopher Dennis), OpenJDK, chris_dennis”. My Github username is tied to the previous commits I’ve authored though: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commits?author=chrisdennis. I also believe there should be a signed OCA for my current employer “Software AG” too since I’ve contributed under it to both OpenJDK and JSR-107.

Hey Chris,

I don't know exactly what triggers removal of the "oca" and "oca-verify" labels. The only OCA entry for Chris Dennis I could find [1] had a different GitHub username. Did you mistype it or it belongs to another person? Mind you, that person's GitHub page is 404.

> I created a PR for 8214761: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2988 - but have been stuck waiting on OCA signatory status to be confirmed. Did something get lost in the shuffle or do I just need to be more patient.
