[Updates Communication] Push approval criteria update

[Martin Buchholz]

Thanks Rob,

Here are some suggestions for  http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk-updates/

These links don't work for me:
 [All Requests] [All Approvals]

I suggest creating a Dashboard for these - the JSR Review Dashboard works
well -
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=17313

I suggest we stop using the word "forest" since it's only got one "tree"
these days and switch to "repo" instead.
