I liked Dalibor's JDK7 Update approval template at http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/approval-template.html
For OpenJDK6 What I was thinking was: -------- DRAFT ---------- OpenJDK 6: Push Approval Request Template Push requests for OpenJDK 6 Project forest (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6) SHOULD be sent to jdk6-dev@openjdk.java.net and follow this template: Subject: OpenJDK6 Request for approval for CR $NR - $Synopsis With the body of the email containing: * if the change applies to JDK 7, it needs to have been integrated into the JDK 7 Update repositories first. Refer to http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/ for JDK 7 Update procedures. * if the change applies to the Oracle JDK 6 Update releases, include any information you have with regards to whether it was fixed in any JDK 6 Update release, or not. Recommendations on whether the change should or should not be included in a JDK 6 Update release can help the Oracle Sustaining team. * either a link to the publicly visible bug/CR on the bugs.sun.com site (or its equivalent), or a description of the change so a bug/CR can be created. * either a link to the publicly visible webrev or a link to the JDK 7 (or JDK 7 Update) changeset, in case it's the the same patch. If the review is taking place somewhere else, a link to the public review thread * if the fix has been reviewed the list of reviewers --------------------------- Let me know what you think. -kto
