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

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

I’m sorry but this objection/question isn’t valid for this thread.

For a general discussion on whether OpenJDK development should be possible without GitHub Lock-In, you could start a discussion on the discuss or jdk-dev mailing lists at a general project level. But the update releases will have to follow the mainline infrastructure.

Cheers
Christoph

Hello



No, it's not ok. I'd add "How to contribute without using a Github account?".
