--- Comment #1 from Parag AN(पराग) panemade@gmail.com --- I just had a look at upstream source. It appears upstream is collection of 2 fonts Ani and MitraMono fonts.
As same tarball is used for creating 2 packages, I suggest do not create 2 packages. I suggest name the package as fbf-beng-fonts and generate 2 subpackages fbf-ani-fonts and fbf-mitra-mono-fonts. You can update this bug and close the other one bug2051879
Let me know if you have any questions on this.

--- Comment #2 from Parag AN(पराग) panemade@gmail.com --- As this package's upstream hosting is not simpler and clear, it becomes difficult to decide font package naming. I thought more on this and consulted someone also in our team. Do you have plan to develop and provide Mitra Sans and Mitra Serif in future? if yes then we should name fbf-mitra-mono-fonts, if not then just name it fbf-mitra-fonts.
There is another thought now try to create fbf-fonts srpm and generate fbf-ani-fonts and fbf-mitra-mono-fonts. if that kind of packaging is not possible then you can think to host those fonts differently and then have these 2 submissions.

--- Comment #3 from Dr Anirban Mitra mitra_anirban@yahoo.co.in --- fbf-beng-fonts should consist of all fonts created by our volunteers in Free / Mukta Bangla Font Project https://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont which includes Aakash, Likhan, Jamrul. Haritaki, Ani Mitra and also Mukti ( which was, by the way, was default Bengali font in Fedora as its earlier avatar MuktiNarrow, before Lohit was created by RedHat). The CVS repository of the project is currently mirrored in https://github.com/mitradranirban/freebangfont
It other developers of the group permit, I have plan to make Fedora packages of the other fonts as well as well as upgrade them , as they are Open Source (GPLed), in that case fbf-beng-fonts can act as a meta-package of all our fonts including fbf-font-mukti, which was our best offering due to professional quality glyphs. If Fedora-font-SIG allows adding members to the fbf-beng-fonts later we can go forward on this.
I have no plan to create mitra sans or mitra serif. As indicated in the changelog, mitra was made as a monospace font for special requirement, I later changed the name to mitramono to avoid confusion with a non-free nastaliq font by Monotype corporation of the same name.
Now you suggest what is the way to go forward.
Presently Debian ships Mukti, Ani, MitraMono, Likhan and Jamrul font as their package fonts-beng-extra. However after exclusion of MuktiNarrow from Fedora due to absence of Font exception issue in 2005, none of the Free-Bangla_font products are in Fedora.
