rpmlint uses python-enchant, and enchant in Fedora is configured to use 
myspell for English by default [0].  myspell means that enchant actually uses 
hunspell in Fedora under the hood, and thus the place to fix dictionary 
omissions/bugs for English for all software that ends up using hunspell 
(directly or via enchant), not only rpmlint, is currently the hunspell-en 
package.

$ echo decryption | hunspell -d en_US
Hunspell 1.2.8
& decryption 4 0: encryption, deception, description, decoration
