Searching around on the wiki, I found the following pages:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UsersAndGroups
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UserCreation
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry

I'm not sure how up-to-date they are, but hopefully, they provide some
useful information. 

Thanks,
