11u: Fix request process & Where to push?

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Man,

you have been heard, please look at https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDKUpdates/JDK11u :)

@aph, gnu.andrew, Goetz, Aleksey: I have added/updated information about the 11u processes and timelines to the Wiki. Please review and feel free to correct and update me in the Wiki, be it in spelling/syntax or in content.

Thanks & Best regards
Christoph

I think it is better to spell out this push policy on one of the documentation sites, e.g.:
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDKUpdates/JDK11u
https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk-updates/

New contributors (like me) may not be subscribed to jdk-updates-dev@ when these kinds of announcement for policy change were made.
Also given that there is no jdk8u-dev or jdk12u-dev, the distinction in 11u's policy is worth being listed at more obvious places.

Hi all,

The topic has been discussed in several threads but I feel the need for some explicit communication:

Changes that get approved (via the jdk11u-fix-yes label) have to be pushed to the jdk11u-dev repository: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk11u-dev/. At the moment, those will reach OpenJDK 11.0.4. Do not push to jdk11u !!

If you think a fix should still reach 11.0.3, the exceptional process would be that you explicitly state in the "Fix Request" comment that you request the fix to be in 11.0.3 and provide some reasoning for that. The approver will then decide and give the according directions.

Thank you!
Christoph
