It's still in koji, but yes, it sooner or later will enter
updates-testing and at least a few crazy people like me run it already.

And others run self compiled kernels from git or the kernel rpms from
rawhide. akmods will rebuild the module for those kernel automatically
-- but that of course only works if the module source compiles with
those kernels.
Supporting some of those use cases is not worth the trouble. But rawhide
is important for us, hence we should do our best to have all kmods
available there.

Thankfully, upstream has given me a patch, although they say their policy is
not to support -rc kernels.
After the builds are successful, what are my next steps to get them pushed
out? Is it anything like fedora? I couldn't find this info on
http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors
It seemed to stop at 'request a build'
