<div> If you are interested in contributing to the XML
implementations in the java.xml module then this would
be welcomed. It's always better to start small with bug
fixes, test improvements and other changes to get used
to working in this project and build up confidence that
you are someone that is interested in maintaining this
area in the long term.<br>

The "Building the JDK" docs [1] has the build instructions, and the
Open Developers' Guide [2] has a good section on contributing.<br>
<br>
Contribution an upgrade to XSL 3 is not a suitable first
contribution. That's a potentially JDK Enhancement Proposal (JEP)
sized effort and would require a huge amount of work from existing
OpenJDK maintainers to establish provenance, review, security audit,
and test.<br>
<br>
I realize you, and the others cc'ed, are experts in the XML field
but starting out here will require chopping wood and carrying water
before taking on anything significant. There are bugs and issues
tracked in the Java Bug System (JBS) in the "xml" component that may
be suitable to take on.<br>
