Yes every time you make a RPM you also make a SRPM which is just a wrapper around the tar ball the author wrote and you made the RPM from.

You offer an SRPM (Source RPM) and a spec file (which defines how to build an RPM from the SRPM). The naming of the files and the contents of the spec file have to conform to Fedora conventions. Someone has to review them to make sure you've correctly conformed to those conventions, approve your submission, and sponsor you. Once sponsored, you get access to Fedora's cvs repository, and are able to cause RPMs for the package to be built within the Fedora Extras build system.
Well Tomi will look for him and he might well find him. But then he could be you or me who just took the time because we percieved a need. Tomi made it child's play to make a RPM and if I can figure out the spec sheet part it might be the simple to apply to Fedora and see what happens.I can see why OH2BNS mentioned not only the skills necessary for this, but also the time. If this seems like a bit much, you might want to go with OH2BNS's suggestion and try to hunt up whoever maintains the hamlib packages in Fedora Extras and see if they're willing to handle gmfsk and xlog also.
I got Fedora Core 5 downloaded and used it to upgrade my laptop. It worked fine and didn't loose anything it appears. I will do a compile and see if that still works :-)
