Would like to backport to commits from 2.8 to 2.79 branch

I have applied, compiled, and minimally tested two commits from the 2.8 branch to the 2.79 branch.

One is some cleanup to the sequencer and the other is for allowing font selection in the VSE Text effect strip.

The specific commits are:
3610f1f Sequencer: refactor clipboard copy to no longer increase user count.
b3dbe17 Add font selection to VSE text strips

How do I go about getting this officially on the 2.7 branch? Should I create an account on https://developer.blender.org ?

Thanks,

John Q.

Yes, developer.blender.org is where you go to submit patches, bug reports, and other related coding tasks.
