Use of the kulla-dev mailing list

Hello JShell users and developers,

The "Kulla" project was founded to develop JShell, and bring it into the 
JDK. That happened in JDK 9, almost 8 years ago. Since then JShell has 
been an integral part of the JDK, and the Kulla project exists basically 
only to keep this mailing list.

Given all this, we propose to dissolve and archive the Kulla project. As 
a consequence, this mailing list would no longer work. Moving forward, 
we shall use compiler-dev (compiler-dev at openjdk.org) for JShell-related 
posts, given (a) the close connection between JShell and javac, and (b) 
the relatively low amount of traffic on this list.

Please let me know if there are any concerns with the plan outline 
above. If there are none, we will proceed to dissolve the Kulla project 
and start using the compiler-dev mailing list for JShell.

Thanks for your JShell support!
