Yes, staging repo should have jcheck fully enabled.

Do I really need to be Committer to the AArch64 Project? Can jdk9 
Committer status be enough? The staging forest is child of jdk9 forest. 
I may be not the only one from Oracle side who will help with sponsoring 
pushes. It would be nice if you allow any jdk9 committer to push into 
aarch64 stage forest.

Andrew, you are JDK9 Committer which includes Author status. So you can 
be author and you can push into the staging forest.

Andrew Dinn and Edward Nevill are not JDK9 authors. They should be 
listed in "Contributed-by: ". Their changes have to be sponsored 
(pushed) by us, Oracle, or by you, Andrew.

Thanks,
Vladimir
