Frankly, there are a lot of links ;) 

This is what you could do:

(1) You could add it to the "wish list"[1] and wait for someone to pick
it up.

(2) You could package it yourself[2] and submit it for review. Once the
review is approved, it will be included in the Fedora repos. 

The links have sufficient info. If you still have queries, feel free to
post to the list(s)[3] or ask folks on the irc[4].

Thank you for trying to add another package into Fedora. Looking forward
to seeing it in the repos soon!
