jdk8u-dev (cc) is the right list.

Currently the JDK 8u tree is frozen[1] for the git migration[2]. Once
it opens up you should be able to use the same git process to
contribute to JDK 8u than you'd be using for JDK 11u, 17u and others.

The JDK 8u wiki has some instructions about the process (see section
"Contributing"):
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u

HTH.

Thanks,
Severin
