http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests. Fedora is likely 
to get its own bugzilla instance soon where we can link to many of the 
Fedora specific things from the front interface.

Yep because there is no bug which mentions yum fastest mirror in the bug 
report subject which is the default search parameter. Advanced search 
for other details.

Also note that bugzilla lists source components. Yum fastest mirror is 
part of yum-utils srpm and you should file your RFE against it though it 
is likely to be something yum itself has to expose.
