I am not sure who told you this, but I do not believe it to be true.
According to Freenode policy, single hash channels created with the same
names as a project are considered to be owned by that project. If it
was decided at any time that the council agreed to do such, they could
contact an IRC Cop of Freenode and have the founder information of
#fedora changed at-will.
