So you want to be a future JDK 8u contributor...

[Hohensee, Paul]

+1, Andrew. I'm already in for jdk8u support, and would be happy to sponsor others.

    Several people have contacted me recently to talk about working on the
    future jdk8u project after Oracle relinquishes their leadership. I'm
    very encouraged by this: if we do it right it'll be an excellent
    example of an Open Source project. As much as possible I'd like to see
    the project run in an open and transparent way.
    
    However, I will say that if you want to contribute, please don't wait
    until that time. We -- the community -- will be very busy taking over
    the project and won't have much bandwidth to sponsor your patches if
    you don't have commit access.
    
    So, it would be an excellent idea to get involved with OpenJDK now. If
    you're already a jdk8u committer or reviewer, that's fine. If you're
    already an OpenJDK but not jdk8u committer, great: get someone to
    propose you as a jdk8u committer. If you're not an OpenJDK committer
    at all, this would be a good time to submit some patches and get
    committer status.
    
    Above all, thank you in advance to everyone who'll be working on
    jdk8u. I think we can make a real success of this, for a long time to
    come.
