Hi Andrew,

Yes, there is some overhead, it does not make things more 
simple.  You could delegate some tasks.

E.g., 
  * I would volunteer to trigger the update of the JBS version 
     For 11 whenever needed.
  * You could allow to push the version bump without 
     jdk11u-fix-yes tag. It's obvious we need it.

Further, I would propose that we exclude all changes Oracle 
pushes to their 11.0.x from the tagging if pushed to 
the open 11.0.x (same x!).
They have already been judged to be good for downport by Oracle. 
The "Fix Request" comment should be added to the change
nevertheless. This way one can know that a change is being
worked on.  Maybe we should note in the bug that it is a downport 
that went to Oracle's 11.0.x, so it's clear why it is not tagged.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
