As an aside, I think we should strike while the iron is hot and get the

that. Having these tasks captured somewhere might make it easier the
next time.

Agreed.  See below.

Just in case this suggestion gets forgotten, earlier this week, I added a few notes/links to JDK-8029942, the JDK 10 equivalent for JDK-8000962.

    JDK-8029942: Update JDK_MINOR_VERSION for JDK 10
    JDK-8000962: Update JDK_MINOR_VERSION for JDK 9

If someone feels like including the bugid for JTREG changes, feel free to add it. If so, then we might want to change the synopsis to a more general "Update build version values to JDK 10" instead of "Update JDK_MINOR_VERSION for JDK 10".
