Related question: as I understand it public domain dedications have to be vetted before use, but where is this requirement documented? e.g. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-approval/#_overview does not specifically mention a special process for LicenseRef- Fedora- Public-Domain.
This is documented in the “Updating Existing Packages” section, which probably isn’t currently the best place for it.

Ahh, thanks. Yes, I agree. Especially since... new package review is when we catch most of these issues
We really need better ways of tracking issues affecting existing packages. Maybe once we move to forgejo we can look having a Debian style tracker flagging both bugs and nits (e.g. hey you're not using the new Python guidelines!)
