These can all go into Fedora.

This is in Fedora and EPEL already. RPMFusion has a policy of not
replacing packages provided by Fedora or EPEL.

None of these look like candidates for RPMFusion. They should go
straight to Fedora instead.

Please follow

For getting sponsored, perform a couple of non-trivial reviews of
existing submissions. They will be non-binding but will show your
knowledge of Packaging Guidelines. If you're having trouble find
a sponsor after that, let me know, I'll sponsor you.

Regards,
Dominik
