I've asked mizdebsk whether he thinks we can switch to using
xmvn-javadoc, which solves the majority of those build failures (over
half, by my count).
I also sent this proposal to the devel and java-devel mailing lists,
and there was no opposition to the change.

For other failures, I've begun to track "EasyFix" solutions (mostly,
overriding -source 1.8 and -target 1.8, as suggested in the Change
proposal), and I've started to either push this change directly (for
packages I am associated with), or filing Pull Requests for them:
https://pagure.io/java-maint-sig/issue/1

However, I am only one man, with only so much time, so without help,
this "applying EasyFixes" will still take a while.

With both changes (switching from maven-javadoc-plugin to
xmvn-javadoc, and applying the -source / -target 1.8 EasyFixes), the
number of build failures should be lower than 100, not over 500.
That's still a big number of broken packages, but it's *much* more manageable.
