Could it submit the package to Koji?  Always nice to know it builds on
ppc/ppc64.

Essentially every package guideline which (a) isn't already done by
rpmlint, and (b) can feasibly be checked automatically, should be
checked.

I've long thought that rpmbuild should have an option to run test
tools on the generated packages.  Particularly rpmlint, but your
review tool is another candidate.

  rpmbuild --test=rpmlint -ba foo.spec

Maybe rpmbuild can actually do this with one of its myriad macros?
