Thanks for the pointer, reading the fedora discussion:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/WUQNAB4EPWSJMMVECL2TZGKB5KIDESII/#ZWQUWUYR7VVG6EXSXZYES5MWCWWKBNKG

The last ping there was on April. As there is no open issue where users can 
track the progress on the Fedora legal team, maybe asking for an update after
a quarter of a year is okay. (If you are a Fedora user and want brainpool 
algorithms included. ;) )

Bernhard
