Hello, I didn't realize the "build-dev@openjdk.java.net" help site was for "members only" and I'm not sure I qualify as a "member", but I have submitted an OCA using this email address (lrho...@verizonmedia.com), but my help request was submitted using my other email address "lee...@gmail.com ".
Copied below is the text of my request for help and the robot response I received.
