Hi Andi,

only opensource software can be part of Fedora, and there are not that many
opensource games out there (which are not already packaged for Fedora), so
it might be a bit difficult to find something suitable and interesting (but
some of the OS clones might be a good idea). Additionally regarding games
packaging, you can consider making flatpaks instead of RPMs and submitting
them to Flathub [1]. Flathub can not only contain opensource games, but
also freeware and free-to-play games (let's talk about Linux-native games
at the moment, incorporating Wine into them would be another level of
difficulty). For example, I'd personally love to see The Dark Mod [2]
available at Flathub.

In Fedora you can also participate on packaging and maintaining
game-related software, like emulators and launchers. Wine, Lutris and
PLayOnLinux are the most visible ones, but then there are also lots of
retro emulators, many of them not even in Fedora yet, I'd guess. So it
depends on your experience and interests (both gaming and packaging). You
could even participate in e.g. Lutris community in creating and maintaining
scripts to allow easy installation of Windows and other platforms' games on
Linux.

The Gaming SIG [3] might provide a better advice, this is just what I know.
