Sigh.

Your backporting and JIRA REST automation is totally awesome, but I think
it would be an excessive burden to expect everyone doing backports to clear
such a high bar.

All the javadoc tests pass
./test/langtools/jdk/internal/shellsupport/doc/ $(find test -name javadoc)

At Google, we originally backported  8212233 with the hope that it would
fix problems with maven, but the problems did not get resolved.  Although
we are "using" this backport, perhaps it is not needed in jdk11u.  I'm not
at all sure what to do here.
