Looks fine to me.

Note the are useful "Caused by" and "Related" links in JBS, which you should really use to track the dependencies between the tickets. I added some, see how it looks. Also, these are either "Enhancement" or "Bug". "Task" is usually about something that is not code-related: https://openjdk.org/guide/#types-of-issues
