First, I guess this question would be more suitable for the devel list
than for the users list, but that's just my opinion :)

Second: You have to keep in mind that you would want to apply
also all upstream tests.

This means it would be best to read up on the fedora packaging and
testing guidelines.

I don't know if red hat has published their intern guidelines for
RHEL development (I'm sure there are some).
