I don't think a package-review is needed? It would just be unretiring
the fedora branches of an existing package?

That said, I am -1 on the idea. 

You have no idea how many people try to install epel packages on fedora. 
We had to explicitly add a Conflicts to try and reduce this, and that
was with them in another repo entirely!

I fear if we do this more people will start installing stuff from epel
on fedora and cause a lot of breakage. 

Whats your goal here? To have them easily available to query from fedora
installs?

Seems fine to me.
