@vova7878 To leave comments in JBS you need to have the 'Author' role in the OpenJDK project. This role is typically only granted to people who already have had some involvement in OpenJDK. See: https://openjdk.org/projects/#project-author

I suggest you send emails to the `panama-dev at openjdk.org` mailing list with the issues you find, which allows for back-and-forth, and then we can file them in JBS.
