JDK 7 Updates: Push Approval Request Template

Push requests for the regular JDK 7 Update Project forests (jdk7u-dev) MUST be sent to the jdk7u-dev@openjdk.java.net mailing list and SHOULD follow this template:

Subject: [7u$N] Request for approval for CR $NR - $Synopsis

With the body containing:

• either a link to the publicly visible bug on the bugs.sun.com site (or its equivalent), or a description of the change in case that there is no publicly visible bug to link to
• either a link to the publicly visible webrev or a link to the JDK 8 changeset, in case it's the same patch as the corresponding changeset committed for JDK 8.
• if the review is taking place somewhere else, a link to the public review thread
• if the fix has already been reviewed for inclusion into jdk7u-dev, the list of reviewers

Note that pushes to a stabilization forest require extra levels of approvals. Developers need to request a phase 2 approval in such cases.
