Off topic: named parameters

[Tom Eugelink]

Totally off topic, I apologise, but the subscribers to this list are the type of people who may have the experience I seek.

I've been trying to pitch the concept of named parameters for Java 9, but somehow my JEP is never picked up. I emailed it in twice. Has anyone ever successfully handed in a JEP?
