This is the place to contact.

If you plan to submit changes, you can't have looked at Sun's source
code.  Also, you'll need to fill out the appropriate copyright
assignment paperwork.  I can get you started on that if you like.

There is plenty to do.  Swing is hardly there at all.  If you look at
the gcj web page (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/), there is a link to the
status page; from there you can reach a page that shows a comparison
of our class libraries with the JDK.  This is a good way to decide
what to implement.
