I was suggested, that as "provenpackager" I could do this, but as I don't have any Fedora packages, it is a no-go. Or could an other "provenpackager" do it for me? Updated sources, prepared by me, are also in bugzilla...

Sorry, I just wanted to help by providing it. I don't really now the
Fedora development process yet, so I looked at other bugzilla entries,
and found that people provide spec files or srpm-s for new or updated
packages.
