I'm working on the assumption so far that we'll use an OPENJDK7
instance equivalent to the one we did for OpenJDK 6. As you say,
access to the OpenJDK JIRA is limited and it would be difficult
for us to e.g. add milestones, additional users, etc. It's also
replete with references to proprietary 7 releases, such as u85,
which would only cause confusion.

Most importantly, we need somewhere to host source tarball releases
and the java.net instance would provide this too.
