I couldn't figure out the contribution process for the documentation (it
probably has changed since), but I did file
<https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/743> a while back.

Making a copy is disappointing because it will bit-rot fairly quickly.
Every Fedora release will change some build flags.  And ideally, you'd
consult the documentation for the Fedora release you are working on.
The on-the-side documentation wouldn't be versioned per Fedora release.
