Recently I come across few packages which need to follow current fonts packaging guidelines. I start working on those but found openfontlibrary.org is almost broken and for those fonts it is upstream. I am now searching those fonts if have some other publisher. If i will find any other foundry then will use and import it in Fedora otherwise my suggestion will be to retire those packages whose upstream are gone now.
