The wiki page is:

FWIW, I do think it's better to spend time helping folks who
want to see something packaged to learn how to package.
Then they can scratch their own itch. And we'll have
someone maintaining the package that actually uses it.
I've seen folks get involved and take on large amounts of
packages which they don't really use and it often leads to
that person becoming overloaded. Then they either suffer
themselves or the packages they maintain suffer. Neither is
an ideal outcome for the maintainer, the users, nor Fedora.
