"Configuration for package managers in Fedora MUST ONLY reference the

canonical list). Unofficial and third-party repositories that contain
only packages that it is legal for us to direct people to in Fedora (see
the Forbidden items and Licensing:Main pages for an explanation of what
is legal) may be shipped in %{_docdir}. The idea is that the system
administrator would need to explicitly copy the configuration file from
doc into the proper location on the filesystem if they want to enable
the repository."
Presumably one is to s/Fedora/RPMFusion and Fedora/g/ when reading that
as applying to Fusion, but still, Fusion's policies would appear to
forbid you to ship packages that contain 'active' external repository
configuration.
Of course, it's interesting to read the above and then reflect on the
situation of pip, rubygems, pear etc etc etc etc etc. Presumably the
term 'package managers' is being interpreted very narrowly...
