That's not how openSUSE development works, you cannot submit changes to 
Factory directly.
Each package in Factory is maintained in some devel project 
(devel:languages:R:released in this case), submits to Factory are only 
accepted from there. IOW, changes have to be done in the devel project before 
they can be submitted to Factory (and Tumbleweed in the end).

We could put the package into KDE:Extra or similar and request a devel project 
change, but that takes time too and also needs to be accepted by the current 
maintainers I think.

I don't really share the concerns though. I did contribute to the rkward 
package in the past (mainly updated it to 0.6.5) and had no "problem" with the 
maintainers.
Of course the situation is a bit different now, after all this is just a git 
snapshot, no proper release, this might be a reason to reject it. But the 
current package is "broken" now anyway, so let's see.

Kind Regards,
Wolfgang
