Is there an appropriate place to send "enhancement requests" to jlink?
This discussion has reminded me of blockers to the adoption of jlink in my
work, and perhaps it is time to express them.
I am familiar with Gradle and the community "jlink" plugin, and would be
interested in sending them PRs on these topics.
My shop does JCA providers and currently jlink does not properly embed
those.
