The difference being that *you* point out a specific item in the
guidelines (helpful!) whereas the reviewer pointed at the top-level Wiki
page for maintainers only. What the heck? Comment 10 in that ticket is
either a bad joke or poor attitude, IMO. If everybody were aware of all
guidelines, remembered them all the time and never made mistakes, we would
not need the review process and not the sponsorship process either.

With regard to the sub-packages and the dozens of conditionals, at
least making use of %bcond_with based conditional builds would be
worthwhile. See e.g. /usr/lib/rpm/macros for "bcond" documentation.
