Post message to either "fedora-legacy-announce" or "fedora-legacy-devel" 
about a suspected vulnerability or bugfix that you'd like to fix.

Use "FedoraLegacy Package Naming Guidelines" instead of generic 
fedora.us guidelines

Fix the numbering scheme... 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 ?  why start over?  Move the 
signing from before the optional rpmlint to after the option rpmlint.

2 initial keywords.  "updates-testing" or "updates", and "security" or 
"bugfix" to indicate what type of update it is.

Change "fedora-package-announce" to "fedora-legacy-announce".

Trusted could be a term given to those developers who've put forth and 
followed through with a certain number of security fixes in packages.  
I'd say untrusted == 0-5, semi-trusted == 6-9, trusted == 10=+.  A 
package can inherit it's trusted status from the developer who puts if 
forth.  Now where we use the term or what it really means to the end 
users is yet another point of discussion.
