There is an almost endless list of things that could be done. Along the 
lines of the warnings clean-up, then sorting through the output of 
FindBugs and other static analysis tools could lead to some useful 
patches and fun discussions. You probably saw the mail from Evgeny 
Mandrikov a few weeks ago where he announced a Sonar dashboard for the 
jdk7 sources. There's a lot of noise in there but it may be useful to 
identify some useful clean-ups (just need to watch the risk/benefit 
trade-off). And of course the tests. In the past we haven't given the 
tests enough TLC so patches to improve the reliability or performance of 
tests are very welcome. There are lots of specific things that could be 
done too but the nice thing about the clean-up areas is that they 
implement Spliterable.
