When you want to discover other missing points in the packaging guidelines,
I have written a small script to automate these QA checks. It tries to be
the "rpmlint" of Fedora Extras packages (but it only operates on srpms)
You'll find a more detailed description on my wiki page:

It still gives a lot of false positives, but it can be helpful (at least it
was helpful to me)

If you use it, let me know if there are things to improve.
