I've tried using tiled window managers, but most of them are X11. I want a wayland alternative, but sway doesn't work with my i3 config (for some reason). Hyprland looks like a good tiled WM for linux. But when I tried to install it, I saw the only way to install it is from source. I can compile it from source (and I probably will), but it would be really nice to have it in the fedora repos, so you don't have to compile it again every update. And also, because I trust the fedora repos to be safe. Thanks. Note: Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I don't know any other places where you can publish requests to add packages to the repo.
This unfortunately isn't the right place; we maintain information on how to properly package things for Fedora and tickets are filed here for making updates to that documentation. (Note that there are also packaging tutorials and such which are not maintained by this committee.)
Fedora is a project mostly run by volunteers and people work on what interests them, so there isn't really any concept of taking requests. You wouldn't generally want a package to be maintained by someone who has no interest in it, after all. If you would like to see the software as part of Fedora then the best way to go about that would be to make it happen yourself, and of course the project is always accepting new volunteers. The alternative is simply to hope that someone else is sufficiently interested in this particular piece of software that they put in the packaging work themselves.
This is quite far off topic at this point, but I can direct you to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Joining_the_Package_Maintainers/.

Thanks!
Side note: There's already a pending review request for a package for hyprland: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2192986 So the things that are necessary for adding it to Fedora are already in motion.
