[Fedora-packaging] Task work needed

Some small busy work needed, somebody to ensure each Review Guideline
item in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines has a
matching guideline entry in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines (or subpages).
Bonus points for creating links in the ReviewGuidelines to the matching
rule in the Guidelines.

Case in point; Can anybody tell me where the guideline exists for:

- SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their
usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be
placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg
itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb.

?  (this is suddenly a lot more relevant as rpm picks up pkg-config deps
automatically and is dragging in quite a lot of -devel packages on
otherwise non-devel installs due to .pc file placement)
