- for a review you need to follow
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#Reviewer
- you need to understand
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines relevant for the reviewed package
- the individual checks done in the review are described at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines

fedora-review is only a tool, without the knowledge it makes little
sense
