These are upstream bugs and having them open in Fedora bz would do no good. 
While this value is valuable it's not Fedora bug and list of packages that are missing test suites in general would better be kept on e.g. wiki page where volunteers can pick one and work with upstream to add test suite. 
For packages that has test suites but don't compile/run it's another story.
