Yes. Please! I was looking at this a while ago but I'm not familiar
enough with the source to see where the problem lies.

I would like to ask whether it doesn't make sense to give this issue a little

Essentially, as Kevin Rushforth confirmed in the Ticket, any JavaFX application
will trigger a warning on the latest stable macOS release that it is requesting
permissions to an API to receive key events.
I want to stress that denying this permission will not impair the functionality
of any JavaFX controls in any way.
Nevertheless this warning lets any JavaFX application appear as a malware. This
is especially worrying for productivity apps used in enterprise environments.
The only thing downstream developers can do atm is fingerpointing at JavaFX,
which harms its spread as a UI frameworks for cross platform dev.
I suggest to solve this earlier than with openjfx-14, since it will affect any
JavaFX app for any macOS Catalina user.
