This is some complicated. Since nautilus-python already exist in fedora

(and there are already EL5/6 branches),
the current maintainer should build and push it.

I saw, you already filed a bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771262

requesting a build.

Next step will be sending an email to fedora-devel-mailing list asking, 
if someone can reach Patrick Dignan.

If is unavailable, his package may be orphaned and another packager 
could grab this package. please look onto [1]

Another solution could be, a proven packager could build this for you. 
If you had contact to jkeating (as noted in the bug report, he might do 
it for you. It is prefered to let the packager build and push the package.
