With pleasure, just do not know how to start, so if you have some "dirty
work" to do, please send me a link where i could find more information
about that.
It's more for the active maintainers of this package (AFAIK, they are on
this list) to answer.
In general, you can check the package's QA page [1] and see which bugs
have been raised and, depending on your level of expertise, try to
reproduce them, fix them, provide a patch, etc...
Another thing is testing with OpenJDK7 & potentially fixing all kind of
packages relying today on OpenJDK6.
But, again, you should do any of this in coordination with the maintainers.
Else there was recently a somewhat related discussion [2]
Cheers, Eric
