metapackages are a convenience and one's convenience is another's annoyance. If
you do that you *must* make sure the individual font packages can still be
installed separately without dragging in other stuff some users do not need. 

The Fedora fonts packaging policy is explicitly designed to permit fine-grained
font installation, without locking users in specific font groups, to let users
choose fonts on their individual merits. The font package naming already makes
it easy to identify fonts of the same origin. A metapackage does not add a lot
except hardwiring someone's preferencies.

> Would that have to go through a new package review?

Yes it would
