I don't know much about tcl and we don't get many tcl packages submitted, but
we do have a guidelines page.  I suppose that anyone who was interested in tcl
would have reviewed this already, so I'll go ahead and take care of it.

The package does not meet the naming guidelines, which require that tcl
packages have a "tcl-" prefix.  You can have Provides: tclreadline if you want.

2.1.0 still seems to be the latest version.  In fact, upstream seems to be
thoroughly dead; the last commit was something like nine years ago.  Perhaps
you and the Debian folks could get together and fork the package.  You've
already changed the API of the package (with the prompt2 stuff) so it's not
much of a stretch.  Otherwise, who is going to ensure compatibility with future
tcl development?

Can you comment on the 20+ rpmlint complaints of the form
  tclreadline.x86_64: W: undefined-non-weak-symbol
   /usr/lib64/libtclreadline-2.1.0.so Tcl_DoOneEvent
