I've added this as a draft guideline so the Packaging Committee can look
at it and approve it as an update to the Guidelines.  If you'd like to
push it forward, that would be excellent.  Basically, it needs
discussion on the fedora-packaging at redhat.com list to iron out any
problems, new drafts made addressing those issues, and then the
Packaging Committee will vote on it either on list or during a weekly
Tuesday meeting.

If you can guide it through the comments and initial revisions I'll get
it onto the agenda.

Thanks,
