Hi Mario,
Looks like you are requesting a backport to 8u (8 will be released very 
soon),
for that release no special permission is required to push the change, so
no need to enter any info to the bug or create one. The backport will be 
created
when the change is pushed

The hotspot development repo for 8u20 is: jdk8u/hs-dev/hotspot
please provide the webrev against that.

You only need to get your webrev reviewed, once that's done then ping me 
again,
and I can get the committed patch, with the appropriate reviewers,
and push it for you via JPRT.

Also, with so many active releases is better to use a more standard 
subject for that
email request,  in this case something like this:

[8u20] RFR (size):  8036619: Shark: add LLVM 3.4 support

RFR = Request for Review
size = size of the review, can be: XS, S, M, L

since the change applied cleanly, perhaps getting the ok from the reviewers
of the changeset on jdk9 should be enough.

Please resend the request with the appropriate subject and webrev,
and let me know if something is not clear

thanks
