RedHat just ran press releases announcing it: http://www.muktware.com/3699/secure-boot-uefi-fedora-red-...

If you want FESCO to vote on it you're going to have to insist, because otherwise that vote isn't going to happen, it's just going to go in as updates to the relevant packages/toolchains.

Fedora, secure boot, and an insecure future

You *do* realize you linked to muktware, while saying Red Hat ran a press release. Why not just point to the full press release text[1]?

Quoting:
"...first UEFI secure boot implementation *is expected* (emphasis mine) to appear in the upcoming Fedora 18 release."

UEFI secure boot will most likely appear on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList and thus FESCO vote will be mandatory.
