FWIW: For that very bug, the jdk11u-fix-request label was set on 11/20/18 when the jdk11u-fix-request procedure still applied for Oracle. The request was approved then on 12/03/18. Afterwards I think the downport was either forgotten or Oracle's process changed. It then eventually got pushed to the 11.0.3 internal Oracle repository on 01/21/19.

As per the current rules, I guess the patch can now be pushed to jdk11u by any committer, in case it applies cleanly.

Best regards
Christoph
