Yeah probably first stage should be to get the package
added to fedora so more people can try it.
AFAIK there has not been an official tarball release yet.
Hopefully it will be actively maintained
and allow for community contributions at some point. :)

Tagoh-san also made initial packages for Fedora:

I would just do:

2. restart ibus from menu (Right click -> Restart)
3. add mozc in ibus-setup
4. select it for input to input-context
