to get koji build access you need to become a package maintainer as
described here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers

Essentially you need to create a spec/SRPM for the package, upload it to
Bugzilla and find a sponsor that reviews the files. Then you will become
a package maintainer and get koji access as well. To find a sponsor it
is usually helpful to show your knowledge to the process and the
packaging guidelines by preliminary reviewing other peoples specs/SRPMs
on Bugzilla.

I hope the complex procedure does not repel you and you still like to
get the package into Fedora. :-)
If you have further questions, please ask. If you did some preliminary
reviews and do not find a sponsor, you can write me directly and I will
see what I can do as time permits.

Regards
Till
