I don't want to add extra Requires lines.
On the contrary, I want to remove an extra Requires line but was
challenged by the maintainer to keep it (without providing a convincing
reason, I would say):
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/maildrop/pull-request/1
Thus, to finally resolve this issue I googled for the Fedora policy,
without finding the relevant section - thus I asked on this list.
Oh I see, in that case you are right and the maintainer is wrong
(doubly wrong in fact because the Requires line is satisfied by any
architecture).
