To put it bluntly -- and the Fedora Project has done a good job at teaching
people to be more blunt -- if you're so reluctant with regard to many simple
things/tasks, one alternative is to sit and wait and offer your packages
somewhere else. Such as Fedora Copr. Or hope that Fedora leadership will
move away from current procedures more quickly -- if that still is what
they would like to do. Then, however, much will be different, and it is
hard to say whether "the distribution" will still be popular at all.

It cannot be repeated often enough: The package review queue is publicly
visible. If a package in the queue(s) is not evaluated by anyone at all
in the community, that means that there is no interest in the package
or no interest in maintaining the package with the package collection.
For quite some people it is less effort to run with selfmade packages
in a private local repo than becoming a volunteer package maintainer
with interest in team work (for example).

A good first step would have been to discuss the unclear things then.
