Request for Sponsorship for Collaboration with OpenJDK

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi  Henry,

Backport issues are usually discussed on the jdk-updates-dev
mailing list. I am redirecting this email there.

As a first step, I would suggest that you subscribe to jdk-updates-dev
at [1], and read the wiki page about the JDK 11 updates at [2].

Thank you for your interest in the OpenJDK project!

best regards,

However, as a new developer in the community, I understand that I will need a sponsor to facilitate the integration of my work. This is where I would like to ask for your assistance.
