In all honesty, I'm not particularly anxious to create that metapackage. I
thought that since Mr. Douros considers these fonts as a set, there might be
others who would too. I'm actually happy to lay that thought to rest.
Just out of curiosity though, how would such a metapackage complicate things?
Wouldn't it work like the libreoffice metapackage which doesn't have to be
installed in order to get some features of the suite?

I have to agree with that, I don't see much benefit to the metapackage. If you
want the fonts to be installed together by default, you can add Suggests or
Recommends between the fonts.

metapackages are a convenience and one's convenience is another's annoyance. If
you do that you *must* make sure the individual font packages can still be
installed separately without dragging in other stuff some users do not need.
The Fedora fonts packaging policy is explicitly designed to permit fine-grained
font installation, without locking users in specific font groups, to let users
choose fonts on their individual merits. The font package naming already makes
it easy to identify fonts of the same origin. A metapackage does not add a lot
except hardwiring someone's preferencies.
> Would that have to go through a new package review?
Yes it would

Once again, thank you very much Zbigniew.
I'll start tinkering with the metapackage idea when I have some spare time.

Package is APPROVED.
Richard, do you have any idea why gnome-software doesn't show this font?

I have gnome-software-3.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64.
When I load the rpm with --local-filename I don't get a preview. After the
installation, gnome-software can not find it, but I don't get any error
resembling yours (or any other error at all). At some point, I saw this:
(org.gnome.Software:2851): As-WARNING **: failed to rescan: Failed to parse
/usr/share/appdata/gdouros-avdira.metainfo.xml;56c9cb51 file: Error when
getting information for file
'/usr/share/appdata/gdouros-avdira.metainfo.xml;56c9cb51': No such file or
directory
but I was unable to trigger it again in subsequent runs.
I've been seeing some of these
(org.gnome.Software:2851): As-WARNING **: failed to rescan: No valid root node
specified
though they appear at random, so I don't suppose they could be related.
I can uninstall it with dnf just fine.
I thought there might be an issue with the fact that the package is unsigned,
but other packages I've built and installed on my system appear in
gnome-software, so it can't be that.
$ appstream-util validate gdouros-avdira.metainfo.xml
gdouros-avdira.metainfo.xml: OK
I don't know what else to try.
