In order to prepare the community for your patch, please socialize your idea on the relevant [mailing lists](#mailing-lists). To understand the criteria by which your patch is going to be judged, please read [_Why is My Change Rejected?_](#why-is-my-change-rejected) below. In short, hidden constraints and assumptions, stability and quality, maintainability, compatibility, and conformance to specifications must be considered before your PR is ready to be submitted. If you don't understand the constraints for acceptance, you might be surprised when your PR is rejected.

Being a first time contributor, finding the relevant mailing list was not easy (there are just a lot of lists! �� ) - I was very relieved when the PR bot added the tag. I'm not suggesting this text be changed, just adding my experience.

There's this section in the Guide that intends to help finding the right list: https://openjdk.java.net/guide/#code-owners
@MariusVolkhart Is there information missing there that would have made it easier for you to find the right list?
