We have talked about such a frontend to pkgs.fedoraproject.org (most
likely reusing code from pagure.io), but we haven't imemented anything
yet.

And adds a dependence on github to some degree. 

So, for now, it's get your change upstream (if it's something upstream
could take) and it will trickle down to Fedora repos, or use a bugzilla
bug and attachment I am afraid. 

I do like the idea of having PR's for packages, it would really help in
some cases.
