Assuming you're not a maintainer yet:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

For an existing maintainer to add a new package:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/NewPackageProcess

Basically, the package has to get reviewed, and first-time packagers have to 
get "sponsored" (i.e. accepted as new packagers by one of the long-time 
packagers in the list of "sponsors").
