If we remove the Group: tag from existing packages (assuming 100%

to:
a) have a maintainer add it back in

If we assume option a) to be unlikely,
Oh, don't assume anything like that. Some maintainers (mentioned on
this list in other threads earlier) have proven record of re-adding
Group after removal.
then wouldn't it make more sense to put the "doesn't
have a Group: tag" check in fedora-review, instead of rpmlint?
Fedora-Review doesn't need to be run during package review. It's not
even recommended in review guidelines. On the other hand running rpmlint
is mandatory, it's the very first MUST item in the guidelines.
