The best way is to create a bug with a request to backport a patch or
create a PR on

Maybe not the right place to ask ... but what is the purpose and goal of
the SELinux refpolicy project if several of the larger Linux
distributions doesn't pay attention to it?
I kinda would expect that lots of the SELinux policy details in Fedora
would be pretty much the same challenges in other distributions as well.
AFAIK refpolicy was more conservative while fedora-selinux was more
focused on usability on desktop. They're still somehow compatible, they
use same build process and backports from or to fedora-selinux still happen
from time to time, but fedora-selinux is not considered as fork anymore.
You can try refpolicy on your own and see whether it works for you
