Yes, the patches in the BTS (almost all from Vladimir) have been very
helpful.

Is the intent to allow OpenJDK 21 to migrate to testing, or to get it
into unstable and block the migration?

I'm not in a position to offer to drive this transition end-to-end, but
can provide sponsoring and routine maintenance support.  I will start by
resuming working through the reported issues in the BTS.

If there are suitable facilities for video conference at Debconf, we
could schedule a Java BoF to discuss your plans.  Afternoon in GMT+9
will the morning in Europe and late evening in the evening in the US.
(Of course, we could do that before or after Debconf too.)

Cheers,
tony
