As there were no objections, I'll update the Wiki pages and send a heads up notification on the mailing list later today. I initially planned to do this earlier but then there was this wiki outage followed by the public holidays.

Great. I'll put some details about the steps into the Wiki. I already started something for JDK11 updates [0].

The first step now should be to integrate jdk8u212-ga/jdk8u212-b04 back to jdk8u-dev. I did similar for jdk11u/jdk11u-dev last week already.

I'll get back to you later when the Wiki is updated.

Thanks
Christoph
