There was a thread by Nathanael D. Noblet <nathanael at gnat.ca> in October
and November of 2013:, starting with message-id
<52669C06.8090702 at gnat.ca>

Some work was done then, but support for dracut-based initramfs images
(which Red Hat uses instead of initramfs-tools from Debian) remained to
be done.

Then, in April 2019, Erik Logtenberg <erik at logtenberg.eu> asked a
question in message-id:  <75058487.4.1554127381403 at ox.logtenberg.eu>
with my answer in July in message-id: <87a7czsrsd.fsf at recompile.se>

In the answer, I announced the upcoming support for dracut-based
initramfs images.  This was released with Mandos 1.8.5 on July 30, 2019.

Therefore, in principle, it should, since then, be possible to support
Red Hat/Fedora systems, but we have not heard of anyone working on it,
and we do not run Red Hat-based systems ourselves.
