No.  They are Spins, not Features.  However, see below.

Basically the same as it was, with one extra step.  rel-eng would like
to see the Feature infrastructure used for the spins, as the Feature
pages will allow better communication and planning to be done during the
release cycle.

Essentially, do the kickstart thing through the Spins SIG as it is now,
fill out a Feature page for the spin, and send a link to rel-eng with
that.
