Working in IT @Red Hat, I concur, and I am pretty sure that no one has
all the information to make that estimation. Network, hosting and
storage are all under different budgets for different team, and all
aggregated ( cause the DC where RH host Fedora server is not dedicated
to Fedora, far from it ), and everybody has better things to do that
splitting usage by project, and querying the right folks to get the
number to start with. RH is not yet a bureaucratic behemoth where
everything is precisely counted.

However, a rough estimate would be easy to get, just ask for the number
of servers, and multiply that by a estimated cost based on industry
average.
