Most definitely. Perhaps by opening up the OpenJDK JIRA issue tracker a bit. I myself have submitted a few bugs, but could not contribute further because I don't have access. I found contribution to Jenkins much easier because it was easy to create a user account on their JIRA issue tracker. Regards, Sverre
