The entry point is:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers

With lots of guides, such as:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers
  [ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group ]
  [ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process ]

or via the convenient links at http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/SOURCE-RPM-NAME-HERE
and mention your concerns there.
