RHEL and Fedora provide basic components thanks to contributions from Red Hat, the community, and hw and sw partners, but real world customer use cases need to be fleshed out to ensure we are delivering the right capabilities.

That's great! welcome to Fedora - thrilled to have you here and
wanting to get things done.
You need no blessing or special sanction to get things done - just go
do it. - no need to wait a few days, feel free to fire off that
infrastructure ticket now.
Don't hesitate to ask for help, we're happy to give it. (and probably
to help you choose a nice color for your bikeshed too :) )
