[11u] Proposal: Switch jdk11u development to Git/Skara with 11.0.13 cycle

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi,

I think so too.  I don't see strong arguments to tie the two 
together.  Especially I see no argument that holds for
tying  8 to 11 that does not hold as well to tie 11 to {17, 15, 13}.
As 13 and 15 already are on git, 11 should follow.  And 17u 
will be started in the time frame where we would transition 11u 
to git (probably in July).

Best regards,
  Goetz.
