Not to belabour the obvious - they didn't. Linus ordered them to merge it.

If you consider the problem is with the Fedora kernel team decision to
merge it into Fedora in the first place, perhaps you should have an
internal Red Hat discussion about it with the people who made that
decision - who I suspect see it differently. Either way the Nouveau
developers don't control Fedora packaging policy, in fact the GPL licence
specially ensures the control is not theirs.
