Packaging is going to depend on whatever language the application you are
packaging was written in.  Most of the GUIs are done via some kind of GTK

Bug fixes also depends on the package you are working with.

Fedora has a variety of languages used throughout it's packages.  The most
common are likely:

C
C++
Python
Perl
Java
