I already said I will. Since I'm doing this on my free time I'll do so at my
earliest convenience.

What's the point of releasing a package that doesn't meet Fedora's standards? I
would need to make another release just after receiving more feedback. I'll
rather wait.

I don't see anything on the license that *requires* to add copyright/license
disclaimers to each file. It says it's *desirable*, but ultimately an
"upstream" choice.

Yes, it's "upstream" business, but if it was *only* upstream business, then you
would have accepted this packages already, and you clearly have issues with it
that "upstream" (me) doesn't have strong feelings about.
