How to submit a Oracle Java Change Request? [closed]

I'd like to submit a Java8 LocalDate API change request (RFE) to Oracle. Unfortunately, the one and only form I could find (http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/) does not provide the fields (Category, Sub-Category, ) I would need to specify me request correctly.

Is there any other way of filing correct and thorough Java change request to Oracle?

Does this link help you? Anyway, you will need an account at Oracle.

The categories are "core-libs" (components) and "java.time" (subcomponent). Am just curious, what would you like to change?

UPDATE: I have now got a closer look. It seems the bug report website is not quite uptodate with Java 8, missing the possibility to specify the java.time-package. So I would instead try to choose the subcategory "java.util.*" or "JDK/JRE documentation, API, tutorials (doc)" dependent on the kind of your RFE. The categoriy should probably be "Java Platform Standard Edition (JDK/JRE)".

And notice that you can only file bug reports or RFEs, but not request for changing the API in a backwards incompatible manner.

Bug: A behavior that violates the specification. 
RFE: A feature that should be added to the product.

Another idea:

You can try to send an issue on Threeten/Github.
