I submitted one test package to (old) Fedora (p0f). My plan was to

Unfortunately, just after I did this the Redhat/Fedora merge happened.
So my trial package has gone nowhere.
Not true. Your package request is right here,
https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=680
waiting together with 237 other requests.
I am not sure about the value of this merger. The 'old'
Fedora allowed
anyone to contribute any package they thought was important. So if a
single person anywhere in the world thought that some software was
useful, it could be included.
This hasn't changed.
It's just that the more individuals submit packages, the more QA
resources it takes to review and approve all these packages.
The 'new' Fedora on the other hand seems more focussed on a
'product'
where packages are only included if they fill a hole. The different
classes of packages ('extras' etc) are OK, but from what I've read
things still need to be approved for inclusion.
Where have you read that? Package submission and approval for the
Fedora Project has not even started yet.
