I'm also a Fedora packager and I've been thinking about posting an email
like yours regarding packaging scikit-learn for Fedora. You beat me to
it :).

Out of these, I think only python-joblib isn't packaged for Fedora yet.

However, I recently found out (merely by coincidence) that scikit-learn
is already packaged in Fedora (since 2013-07-30):
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/python-scikit-learn
Review is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976714

To my great surprise, the packager and the reviewer didn't even notice
the problem of bundled libraries and the package happily bundles
everything...
Here is the SPEC file:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-scikit-learn.git/tree/python-scikit-learn.spec

I just filled a bug report to track this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=999823
Your help in fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Tadej
