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.

Sounds great. I'm sure there'll be somebody to guide you through the
process. For starters, this is a good guide for contributions to the
jdk-updates project:
https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/JDKUpdates/How+to+contribute+or+backport+a+fix

Hope this helps.

I'm also happy to answer process questions should you have some.

Thanks,
Severin
