https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/  and links there
are a great place to get started.  If you've not packaged anything before,
you'll need to follow the process and obtain a sponsor as well.

The spec files in the upstream will need a bit of cleanup work to meet the
packaging guidelines reference in the link above.. The Makefile for
installation is pretty light so the spec file is having to do a good bit
more than typical 'make install'.
