      When a github user without an associated openjdk census account issues any of the commit commands (`/backport` or `/tag`), they are greeted with the following error message:

      @user Only OpenJDK contributors can use the /backport command

      With the word contributor being a link to: https://openjdk.org/bylaws#contributor

      Where the definition of contributor reads:
      A Contributor is a Participant who has signed the Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA), or who works for an organization that has signed that agreement or its equivalent and makes contributions within the scope of that work and subject to that agreement. A Contributor may submit changes larger than a simple patch, may propose new Projects, and may take on various roles within Groups and Projects.

      What the error message really should be saying is that you need to be in the OpenJDK census and that your github account needs to be linked with it.
