A developer shares their frustrating year-long experience attempting to contribute patches to OpenJDK, where their Oracle Contributor Agreement submission remained unreviewed despite multiple follow-ups. After waiting over a year with no progress, they're abandoning their upstream efforts and releasing several patches for others to adopt, including fixes for llvm-config checks, thread stack size issues in zero variants, and Loongson JDK fork improvements. The author invites others to rewrite and submit these patches as original work without attribution.
