If there are no other users of lua-5.2 in Fedora, then you could simply replace the bundled source with latest upstream (currently 5.2.4) and ship it bundled (recording the bundling with Provides: bundled(lua) = 5.2.4). If something else in Fedora still requires lua-5.2.x then the best option is to package lua52 separately and patch Darktable to use the system version. You should also find out if there will be another release of lua-5.2.x or if 5.2.4 was the last one. If it was the last one, then you'd better try convincing the Darktable maintainers to migrate to lua-5.3.

Quite a few Lua packages will probably need some attention/patching and all of them could probably use some testing after such a change. I'd like to help with that too, but without sponsorship or guidance I don't really know where to start or what the procedure is.

The author Mike Pall stays on his strong opinion to not upgrade the LuaJIT implementation of the language to 5.2 standard in the foreseeable future. His basic stand point is about keeping compatibility for the existing users. [1] http://luajit.org/performance_x86.html So, may be Fedora transition to 5.2 is the right moment for LuaJIT to be finally included in the collection (with an additional role as lua51-compat package - alternative provider of lua(abi) = 5.1 on all architectures except s390 and ppc64). Initially, back in the LuaJIT 2.0 beta times, there was one failed packaging attempt [2] who died due to disappeared candidate packager. [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=718681 Meanwhile, after 2 years intensive beta period LuaJIT reached official 2.0 release (2012-11-12). Current version is 2.0.1-2 and 2.1 (with compiled string operations) is on the way - [3] (mirror).

[4] https://github.com/craigbarnes/packages/blob/master/luajit.spec As a side note, LuaJIT extends Lua language with an unique FFI mechanism for direct leveraging the whole treasure of the collection provided C-APIs, coded as simple as [5] (compiled to native calls, without need of libffi or such), which makes it perfect for standalone system-scripting tool and/or Python companion [6].
