Linux kernel development model is pretty unique and very distributed. It 
can't be readily compare to any other project. There are several 
different parallel branches - linux-mm, linux-next, linux-staging etc 
that feeds into the Linus branch.  New releases come out every 3 months 
or so. There is a initial week merge period followed by a stabilization 
period. Even with the short release cycle, the number of patches is 
exceptionally high.  The nature of development for distributions is 
primarily to act as a integration point for upstream projects. I doubt 
it will work well for Fedora.
