That would be interesting.

There is an almost endless list of things that could be done. Along the lines of the warnings clean-up, then sorting through the output of FindBugs and other static analysis tools could lead to some useful patches and fun discussions. You probably saw the mail from Evgeny Mandrikov a few weeks ago where he announced a Sonar dashboard for the jdk7 sources. There's a lot of noise in there but it may be useful to identify some useful clean-ups (just need to watch the risk/benefit trade-off). And of course the tests. In the past we haven't given the tests enough TLC so patches to improve the reliability or performance of tests are very welcome. There are lots of specific things that could be done too but the nice thing about the clean-up areas is that they implement Spliterable. -Alan.
