CFV: New JDK8 Committer: Landon Fuller

[Alan Bateman]

Max,

It's not clear to me that the contributions to the BSD Port project can 
be used to demonstrate contributions to the jdk8 project. In the jdk8 
history (hg logs) then the only reference I can find to Landon is in the 
attributions on the initial (huge) change-sets that brought the Mac port 
into jdk8. He was clearly a key contributor and leader in that effort, 
it's just that there isn't any evidence of recent or direct 
contributions to the jdk8 project.
