You can have a look at the Java section of the gcc web pages:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/java/

Especially the `Contributing to the GCJ Project' section:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/java/contrib.html

> lists of maintainers

I don't see a MAINTAINERS file in libgcj's tree (a file that should
have been added after the inclusion of libgcj to the gcc tree, or
added to gcc's MAINTAINER file; my fault.) Note that authors are
listed in the individual files and questions usually taken on
java@gcc.gnu.org.

You can go there for some general documentation,

  http://gcc.gnu.org/java/docs.html

but you'll probably have to read the code and its comment. Note that
doxygen has been applied to Classpath (and upstream provider to
libgcj:)

  http://www.klomp.org/mark/classpath/html/

Maybe the same could be done with libgcj's code.
