Requesting editor rights to the OpenJDK Mac OS X Port Wiki

[Martijn Verburg]

And further to this, I do apologize for attacking your thread in particular
- that wasn't my intention but it was really poor behavior on my part.  I'd
like to make it clear that you in particular are extremely helpful to
newcomers at OpenJDK more than anyone!  A salient reminder to think before
I type in future.

Cheers,
Martijn
