My preferred solution: let some script/tool generate static pages with a
url that does not change, e.g.

fedoraproject.org/packages/foo/

Some informations for those pages could come from the package database,
and some others from the SRPM (maybe a slightly enhanced or modified
version of repoview could do that).

When that scripts runs let it check for the existence of
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packages/foo
and integrate those parts and/or simply link to that page. The
maintainer or interested users could then maintain some further
informations (important bugs, known problems, ...) in the wiki easily.
