Hi,
The bug database requires you to name a package and so cannot be used for requesting new packages. What is the correct way of requesting new packages?
If you want to do the work yourself:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process
if you want someone else to do it for you, well, there's https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist?rd=PackageMainta...
In this case I am thinking of the Rust programming language. Debian now packages this, but Fedora does not.
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 present.
There's actually a bug report for this already (though this isn't usual for 'package requests'):
