If you want to do the work yourself:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process

if you want someone else to do it for you, well, there's

There are people working on this. It's a long way from being
packageable in a way that's compliant with Fedora's guidelines at

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=915043

where some of the discussion is happening.
