This is also the case if you find a change that you would like to see backported to an eralier JDK release. Never reach out directly to any developer.

Rather than directing people to our mailing lists, I suggest filing the concern at bugreport.java.com.  Only if somebody is interested in actively helping with some aspect of the implementation would I recommend contact via the OpenJDK mailing lists.
