Fedora has a peer-reviewed process for adding software to the
distribution. Our model is currently based on .spec files in a common
CVS repository; we do not work in terms of SRPMs, except as a
transmission format during initial review.

Unfortunately the wiki appears to be down so I can't get the link for
you. But the basic idea is to file a bug at http://bugzilla.redhat.com
in the Fedora product, component "Package Review". See this bug for an
example:
