Guidance... Okay, let's see. Here are some random brain dumps:

  The old fedora.us project is dying a slow death. For some reason
  you've managed to ignore the warnings on the front page of the
  website and the wiki, that it's only kept alive for extras for FC2
  and older. ;)

  The Fedora Project has moved on to "Fedora Extras" and is creating new
  package submission and QA guidelines from scratch. Well, experience from
  the old fedora.us procedures is taken into consideration. But so far,
  there is no well-defined package submission process for Fedora Extras.
  Instead, an "Interim New Package Process" is in use and has been used
  several times already:

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-February/msg00208.html

  With Fedora Extras comes different infrastructure, too:

   - http://bugzilla.redhat.com instead of bugzilla.fedora.us

   - http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/
     instead of download.fedora.us

   - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki instead of fedora.us/wiki

  Sure, some of the old package submissions in bugzilla.fedora.us are
  still processed, and others keep being work-in-progress. But
  bugzilla.fedora.us is just not the intended place where to submit a
  package for Fedora Extras anymore. Unless your submission is approved in
  accordance with the old fedora.us policies, don't expect quick feedback
  there. The interim new package process linked above currently is the way
  how to advertise your packages and seek for a package sponsor. No other
  package submission policies and infrastructure are in place yet. And
  yes, posting to fedora-extras-list bears the risk that, if nobody has
  immediate interest in sponsoring your package, the request is not
  handled.
