The presence of these bugs tells you nothing about the quality of
those packages.  Also it doesn't tell you about other packages that
might have passed the review 5+ years ago, but since then fallen out
of compliance with the guidelines.

This is where having some sort of automated testing of all packages
would be good (perhaps running fedora-review over packages, as was
suggested in this thread already).

FWIW, Debian does this already: http://lintian.debian.org/
