Hello! As the author of the original issue, I am interested in the ability to leave comments on my issues before creating a pull request on github. The site bugreport.java.com does not provide this ability for unregistered users, but registration is non-trivial. How can I do this?

P.S. I am creating a port of the FFM API to Android, which is already +- ready. In the process, a number of questions have accumulated, which I am later going to formalize as issues
