One thing to add here: Unfortunately 8-pool doesn't work for openjdk8* releases. I think there's still an issue in hgupdater. It works for, e.g. 11-pool.
I also think that using manually created backport bugs will lead to quite some orphans... In most cases it's better to let hgupdater create the backport bug at the time of pushing.
