Question about contributing

I found a package that people may actually use that I could package for, The Brotli
command line tool by Google, as it can have a much better compression ratio than LZMA or
LZMA2 for a lot of files. Though according to the Fedora Wiki, they say to "inform
upstream". Should I do this first before creating a review request for the package or
wait until the package is approved?

You can do it in either order - it's more about introducing yourself to
the community. As a packager you will likely participate in the
community as a contributor, so it's good to say hi.

The "inform upstream" task is not actually checked or enforced, it is just a 
recommended best practice. Feel free to do it in any way you see fit.

So it's optional?
