I've offered to help Robert co-maintain the python-boto package, since I use python-boto directly instead of just as something a different tool uses. There is a process for becoming an official packager; your wait would likely be shorter than mine since you are an upstream package maintainer already (I've just started the process myself, and am not an upstream provider). I'd love to help you out myself; let me know and I can work with your team to get additional packages in to Fedora.
I should note however that I don't currently use Eucalyptus, to be honest, though it's almost entirely because it isn't well integrated with Fedora and managing my current setup isn't hard with my internal tools. I will soon need to use something external to manage our rapidly growing clouds though, so working to get Eucalyptus working well on Fedora is something I could likely get my employer to OK as during-business-hours work.
At the very least, you should consider joining the meeting on Thursday; likely you could get all your questions answered and worked out then.

Matt,
we would love to be able to coordinate with Fedora about Fedora's and our
releases and web page (where to file bugs and where to find packages): are
you the right person to coordinate with?
We already have one engineer looking into the euca2ools packages. He
already reached out to the euca2ools packages and we hope to have only one
package soon.
How do you think we should proceed for Eucalyptus? Is it possible to have
a 'mentor' to help us get Eucalyptus into Fedora?
cheers,
graziano
