Default minimum outdoor temperature for DX coils

The current minimum outdoor temperature for compressor operation for EnergyPlus objects 'Coil:Heating:DX:VariableSpeed' and 'AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow' is -20 DegC. The current cold-climate heat pump technology can operate easily down to -25 DegC. Ideally if this temperature can be allowed to drop to -30 DegC.

What is the best way to request this kind of change in EnergyPlus? This is really not a feature request. It's more of minor code change. Is there a web link someone can share for entering this request for change in e+?
