Is this a collection of small improvements that you are looking to 
upstream? Is there any reason not to work with a fork from the main line 
as it already has a lot of startup improvements since JDK 11. The 
jdk-sandbox repo [1] and existing mailing lists could be used in that 
case. Some of the JEPs in recent releases have accumulated changes in 
the sandbox during their development.

Or maybe you have a larger multi-year project in mind? OpenJDK has 
Projects [2] for collaborative efforts. Projects will usually involve 
exploration and prototyping. Is that the sort of thing you had in mind? 
It might be useful to expand a bit on what you have in mind as it is 
hard to know if this is about upstreaming changes or an effort that will 
explore many directions.
