[11u] Announcement: Switch to Git/Github for 11.0.13 release cycle

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi,

there's this: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/SKARA/Backports. Maybe it is not quite "final" yet.

For anybody interested in trying out the Skara backport process, you could do backports in 16u, 13u and as of today, I guess 15u, too.

I'm sure the Skara team is welcoming any feedback ��

Best regards
Christoph
