Both the package submitter and the reviewer, who approved the
package, should be pointed at:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Use_rpmlint

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines

  | MUST: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms
  | the build produces. The output should be posted in the review.

rpmlint warns about a missing URL tag.
