You are right that there is a lot to do. However as you wrote only few people
care about java and these already do a hard work to keep things going.
Help in improving documentation is it updating the Java FAQ, writing a
Java Developers Guide or working on the wiki stuff would be greatly
appreciated. As well as packagers are welcome :-)

That has nothing to do with a personal opinion - it just doesn't belong there.
Beside that I recognize the value a Java Developer Guide could have.
