No, Jerry (in case you're the same Jerry James) already maintains some packages
in Fedora.  Dunno whether the different email address here from the earlier ones
is a problem (earlier are assigned to Jerry.James at usu.edu in the no longer
used owners.list)

jlint is already in Fedora CVS, orphaned and dropped from the distro a few
releases ago.  I used to maintain it, and speaking from that experience, I would
suggest using the package already in CVS as the base, or most importantly using
Konstantin Knizhnik's original 1.x versions instead of the extended 3.x ones. 
When I last compared them, 1.x gave much better results than 3.x which reported
lots of false positives, which is why I kept the Fedora package at 1.x.  I don't
remember more details and I'm no longer using jlint, so I'm afraid there's no
more info about this I can share.
