FYI candrews showed in #gentoo-java yesterday. I was not the only who
was not aware of the recent additions....

13:19 < candrews> So, now that I'm a developer, how to go I go about
joining thi s project? Do I need to take the quiz mentioned at
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ Project:Java ?
13:31 < candrews> I've reopened the PR for Java 9; I'd love to get some
review o n it and permission to merge it:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1721 14:22 <@Chewi> candrews:
congratulations! I wasn't aware that you'd joined the f old
14:23 <@Chewi> candrews: sorry about the earlier handling of the PR. I
did feel bad about it and intended to take another look but still

14:26 <@Chewi> the quiz isn't essential and it mostly refers to issues
