Please do.
That said, we may also upload kotlin now even if openjdk-8 is still in
the queue. As long as they enter sid in the right order, that's fine. In
the worst case kotlin will be accepted before openjdk-8 and simply
prevented from transitioning to testing until openjdk-8 arrives.

To be honest, I still have a very long way to go and I'm not even sure
to succeed (I spent a full day dealing with 2 months worth of commits,
and I'm only at the Q2 2015 code).
They've done a great work, I don't think my approach replaces theirs, at
best I may reconnect with them to provide the bootstrap compiler, or
certify later that both approaches produce the same binaries.
