I'd suggest explicitly asking for feedback from the maintainers of 
downstream builds, such as

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/java-openjfx/
https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/openjfx
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/openjfx/
https://www.freshports.org/java/openjfx8-devel

In the case of the JDK, downstream builders of OpenJDK tend to provide 
very useful first hand feedback of barriers to building & contribution, 
and often end up becoming regular contributors themselves, due to the 
hard, fundamental nature of (build) problems one needs to resolve to be 
able to provide a working build for one's own operating system.
