In the "Workflow" section the JEP explicitly states:

"However, creating a PR requires an account on GitHub. For contributors 
not wishing to create an account on GitHub, we would continue to accept 
patches sent to the OpenJDK mailing lists. Such patches would, however, 
require a contributor with a GitHub account to create a PR, similar to 
how many contributors today help newcomers to create and upload webrevs 
to cr."
