Ultimately, whatever way to find the right Oracle engineer is documented 
is fine with me.

It just needs to be documented, and documented in a way that's easy and 
obvious to follow for someone who doesn't have the time to learn the 
lore and history of OpenJDK organization into core-libs-dev, 
serviceability-dev and hotspot-dev, etc.

This is an extremely confusing area for new comers.

For example, I'll put myself in the shoes of someone sending in their 
first change to the system. Let it be some small HotSpot tweak, like 
fixing some compiler warning in zero.

If the submission of my HotSpot change only fails running an nio jtreg 
test on OS X (assuming OS X is a supported configuration, of course), 
should I contact

a) zero-dev (I tried to patch zero)
b) hotspot-dev (which is part of hotspot)
c) nio-dev (which is where the failing test came from)
d) mac-osx-dev (which is the platform the test failed on)
e) jtreg-dev (on the chance that it's some jtreg issue)
f) jdk-dev (because I'm  building the JDK after all)
g) ops (because ops is listed on the wiki)

to find the right Oracle engineer to work with?

cheers,
