Hi,

If you look at "Used By" here: https://github.com/openjdk/jol/ -- then you would see that it is only
used by two projects. That is actually a misconfiguration, as GitHub defaults to first module when
tracking the dependents, which is "jol-benchmarks". It should instead track "jol-core".

I remember asking Erik about this privately before, and it would seem that GitHub had implemented
the missing bit for it:
https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/supply-chain-security/exploring-the-dependencies-of-a-repository#changing-the-used-by-package.


Could anyone with admin access to OpenJDK GitHub repos see if that setting is available now?

If available, could you please make the following changes?
   https://github.com/openjdk/jmh/: point to "jmh-core"
   https://github.com/openjdk/jcstress/: point to "jcstress-core"
   https://github.com/openjdk/jol/: point to "jol-core"
