There are these magical things called patches that can be submitted.
Much like the secondary arch team would need to do so for the kernel
(also mentioned in the guidelines), the X maintainers (also mentioned
in the guidelines), etc. Unless you're suggesting secondary arch
maintainers are somehow unable to do so?

Fedora's about providing a consistent experience wherever possible; this
means using consistent interactive installation tools, consistent image
creation tools, and so on.
