This is what you are looking for:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Claiming_Ownership_of_a_Deprecated_Package

especially:
Deprecated packages require re-review if they are deprecated for more
than two weeks or if there is no previous review of the package. Submit
a review request (a new bugzilla ticket) and have the package approved
by a reviewer as if it were new to Fedora. See the package review
process for more information.
