'qemuctl' is not something that ships in QEMU upstream. Either the qemu-launcher package should be fixed to not depend on components that aren't in Fedora, or qemuctl should be added as a package. In either case, this isn't a bug in the core 'qemu' package.
The package qemu-launcher is orphaned in Fedora. Therefore, I tried to report against qemu. Should I request a package for qemuctl?
There's no point adding the qemuctl package to Fedora, unless there is first someone willing to volunteer as a new maintainer for qemu-launcher. Orphaned packages are periodically purged from Fedora unless a new maintainer is found.
Orphaned?
Yes qemu-launcher is orphaned and no longer maintained in Fedora.
