It's generally not the library's core maintainers that push it into a 
given Linux distribution.  Most often, it's someone outside that group 
who has an interest in both the Linux distribution and the library.  It 
sounds like that person could be you, for the Fedora case.  Join their 
contributors' mailing list and ask to submit a package.  You'll no doubt 
have to prove that you and the library are stable, but outside that, 
distribution projects are usually happy to have new contributors.
