Whether upstream has used a git submodule, vs deep copying the 3rd party code into their repo, is largely irrelevant to Fedora, as we're not working directly with upstream git repositories, we're using tarballs in the RPM build. IOW, if the 3rd party code ends up in the source tarball that Fedora is building from, then the "bundled library" packaging guidelines apply. Even if the git submodule code ends up in separate source tarballs, to be used alongside the main source tarball, the "bundled library" guidelines should still apply.
