Life of a Bug - Next Generation

As I try to better understand the openjdk development process I stumble
across a very helpful informative (older) blog entry.

https://blogs.oracle.com/java/a-bugs-life:-java-7-updates

With the migration to git and it’s applicable features, and the build
changes can anyone clarify some more on this?

If this has been documented already elsewhere (i.e.
https://openjdk.java.net/guide/) I apologize up front but still was
interested in how things have further changed

I assume the changes mainly involve things like:
- Code migration from Mercurial to github for configuration control
- Bug Tracking (may have some different methods in tracking)
- Branch/release management (i.e. git commit/branches/master vs
development, and build/release cadence, etc.) in git
- Review (leveraging “Pull Requests” in git including applicable flags
involved in PRs [like the OCA, milestones, review requests, etc.)
