CFV: New JDK8 Committer: Landon Fuller

[Weijun Wang]

Alan,

Yes, I thought about it also. However, the original bsd-port and 
macosx-port projects are merged (not abandoned) into the master jdk8 and 
jdk7 repos. I think it's reasonable, if not automatically, for the 
committers of those projects to be merged into the master projects.
