Sorry, the whole existence of RPM Fusion revolves around it's relation to 
Fedora. We will reject packages that should be in Fedora. However, if you're 
willing to answer questions when problems arise, maybe someone would be 
willing to be a stand-in maintainer in Fedora once you've created packages? I 
don't see how having to have two bugzilla accounts is any more work than one, 
but if you package stuff that is useful and not in Fedora I don't see why 
someone else can't submit it for review and maintain it.
