As far as I can tell, such code signing applications or installer
packages is only possible in XCode, and XCode only runs on OS X, and
to get a Developer ID certificate requires belonging to the Apple
Developer Program, which requires agreeing to a EULA. If Red Hat is
already a Apple Developer Enterprise Program member, great. If not,
I'd advise any Fedora developer ask Fedora legal to review that EULA
before they agree to it.
