From selinux-policy.spec: 26 # Use the following command to create patch from https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy 27 # git diff eb4512f6eb13792c76ff8d3e6f2df3a7155db577 rawhide > policy-rawhide-base.patch 28 # Use the following command to create patch from https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib 29 # git diff 64302b790bf2b39d93610e1452c8361d56966ae0 rawhide > policy-rawhide-contrib.patch So the fork is at https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy and https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib There's a document https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/wiki/HowToContribute which is as recent as it could be but it gives insight how does it work.
