I must say I agree with Vladimir in being hesitant towards voting for 
this. I looked at the list of the 20 contributions. All of them were 
committed in a very short timespan, and all of them were newly written 
regression tests for bugs that appeared in the JDK 1.4 to 1.5 timespan 
(at least for those I checked, but afaict all of them refer to bugs in 
the JDK-45xxxxx to JDK-46xxxxx range, which is waaaay old).

I'm not agreeing that this lives up to the bar for substantial 
contributions required to become a JDK Committer.

I'm not voting veto at this point, but I'm asking you to reconsider your 
nomination, and perhaps withdraw it for the time being. You can 
re-nominate when Manukumar has been with the project for more than just 
a few weeks, and contributed more relevant code than just some tests for 
20 year old (!) bugs.
