Request for Sponsorship for Collaboration with OpenJDK

[Aleksei Ivanov]

Dear Henry,

The correct mailing list for backporting changes to Java update releases 
is jdk-updates-dev at openjdk.org (CC'ed).

Please read the Backporting section of the developer guide: 
https://openjdk.org/guide/#backporting

Basically, you start with opening a Pull Request for 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk11u with the backport changeset. You can 
import the original changeset into your fork of jdk11u or use /backport 
command on the original commit: 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/03f25a9c6924430ec4063b801b2b6ca55b9067c9

I can see Andrew Hughes has already issued this command. He may be 
working on backporting this issue.


After the PR is reviewed, you should request an approval for the push, 
see https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk-updates/approval.html

After you get the approval, you issue /integrate command in your pull 
request. Any committer can then sponsor your contribution.


I hope I provided enough details to guide you.

Regards,
Alexey
