Depending on how much interest you would develop for real packaging,
you might want to read up on Fedora Copr.

Packages in the Fedora package collection need maintainers. They
cannot be "donated" as prebuilt packages. The last that would need
to happen is to make available the src.rpm files, and then somebody
with interest might adapt them and enter them into the review queue.

Mistakes in the packages. Likely bad/incorrect automatic dependencies
or lack of filtering of dependencies. Requirement to use --nodeps is
a show-stopper.
