The JEP process is open to JDK *committers*, and it is unlikely a JEP will gain funding if the author is not prepared to contribute significant effort to the project's implementation or stewardship. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Brian_Goetz&action=edit&redlink=1" target="_blank">/w/index.php?title=Brian_Goetz&action=edit&redlink=1</a> <a href="#fnref:4" class="footnote-back-ref">↩</a></p></li>
