I've been going through the fonts that are marked as in progress for packaging in the wiki and comparing them to review requests in Bugzilla.
To track what I was doing, I've made a table here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Frixxon
(yeah, too lazy to even make a sub-page!)
Of the older packages that were being reviewed, Epigrafica and Breip stalled quickly, after a first attempt at packaging by someone. I've emailed him this evening, and he has confirmed that he won't be correcting the work done so far.
So, two things:
1. Breip and Epigrafica are back on the wishlist. Spot also started packaging Epigrafica, but stopped when he realised someone else was doing it.
2. As a newbie myself, I don't know how the review requests for these two should be closed, or who can do it, but it needs doing.

Thanks a lot for doing this, it's a thankless task, I did it several times but have too many other things to do nowadays.
So, two things:
- Breip and Epigrafica are back on the wishlist. Spot also started
packaging Epigrafica, but stopped when he realised someone else was doing it.
Anyone is welcome to pick it up from there, it's always a pity to see review time wasted.

IIRC you need to be in a special FAS account to change bug status. If you intend to do such cleanups regularly, you can request membership (ask the bugzappers team how to do it)
But, anyway, the Fonts SIG is chronically understaffed, feel free to try to fix all the problems you see, as long as you post what you did there so people can correct you if needed that's perfectly fine. As you'll see quickly the problem is not to do a lot once, but to do a little regularly over a long period. The second is what the SIG regularly need, but it's a lot harder to maintain commitment this way.
