Thanks for offering your help, Jonathan.

In order to be an 'Initial Member' of a group you need to already have 
member status inside OpenJDK, i.e. be on one of the existing teams, 
according to the interim governance rules.

I know that you're working on the mipsel-linux port, which is something 
I'd love to see in the porters group, but I have no idea if you are 
already officially a Member of OpenJDK yet.

If you are not yet a Member, no worries, Mark Reinhold, David Herron and 
Tom Marble (thanks guys!) have kindly offered to be Initial Members of 
the Group, so that bootstrapping requirement for the proposal of the 
group is already fulfilled.

I'd be happy though to assist you with a proposal for a mipsel-linux 
port as soon as the group is created (proposal + two weeks time for 
discussion + a vote by IGB), though, and that should get you initiated 
as a member.

cheers,
