Interesting. Is there any repo or further development information for
this? Or is it still in the early planning stages?

Some (but by no means all) of this information is available in our
packages application: 

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/midori

Would it make sense to add this on there? or do you see this as a
different audience?

I'd suggest talking with the releng and qa folks before diving in too
deeply. You might get some more detailed plans or others to help
you. ;)
