Good morning,
My name is Sean Callaway and I'm a Linux SA in southern California. I
currently am the maintainer of two packages for EPEL
(openvpn-auth-ldap and re2c).
I am interested in seeing about getting Discord, a gaming chat client,
into rpmfusion-nonfree. I have a working package in my Copr
(https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/seancallaway/discord/) and am
getting ready to create my review request. I've read through the docs,
but most of them are written for Fedora specifically and, as this is a
binary release for nonfree, I'm not sure they apply fully. Either way,
I'm left with at least the following question: what permission is
required from Discord to have this included in RPMFusion? Is a
developer's quick go-ahead
(https://twitter.com/crmarsh/status/819615137531183105) enough?
To get a package into RPM Fusion, it needs to be reviewed, like for
Fedora, although some of the rules in RPM Fusion are more relaxed.
You also need to be sponsored, but if you are already a sponsored
packager in Fedora, you automatically get the same status in RPM Fusion.
See https://rpmfusion.org/Contributors for details on the process.
Also, you shouldn't use Fedora's copr for stuff that wouldn't be allowed
into Fedora, so I think your copr repository for discord breaks this rule.

Hope this helps,
