The Census unfortunately doesn't provide email addresses for people, but assuming you have been active on the project mailing list (since you are applying for Author after all), you should be able to find the lead's email address in your local email archive, or ask your sponsor.

Once you have gotten the user name, this should be associated with your GitHub account in order for the bots to be able to identify you on GitHub. See the [Skara documentation](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/SKARA#Skara-AssociatingyourGitHubaccountandyourOpenJDKusername) for more details on that. Once that's done you can create PRs and get them reviewed, but you will still need a sponsor to approve your change before it can be integrated. You'll also get write access to [JBS](#jbs---jdk-bug-system) and the [OpenJDK wiki](https://wiki.openjdk.org) related to the project in question, and to [cr.openjdk.java.net](https://cr.openjdk.java.net) via an SSH key provided at the time you accept your invitation.

Suggestion:
