Unsure how to submit a patch request for Shib 2.x IDP

A user opened an incident with us, questioning the validity/authenticity 
of a Shibboleth error page they received due to a grammatical error in 
the message (they perceived it as a possible phishing page). It appears 
this particular error has been around a long time as a Google search for 
it turns up lots of hits.

I downloaded the Shibboleth 2.x source tree

svn co https://svn.shibboleth.net/java-shib-idp2-main/branches/REL_2 
java-shib-idp2-main

and have identified the source file that needs to be changed:

java-shib-idp2-main/java-idp/src/main/webapp/error.jsp

The proposed patch to fix it is:

java-idp/src/main/webapp/error.jsp
13,14c13,14

Is there a correct way to submit this? I could see existing issues in 
Jira but don't have an account myself there or anything.

Thanks.
