asking
you for approval of this exception.
Could anyone have a look at it please? I'm kind of blocked with
uploading the software to the Fedora servers if I don't get any
feedback.

Any response is appreciated.
IMO this exception is okay for Fedora.

Incidentally this exception seems to be identical to what SPDX calls
LGPL-3.0-linking-exception
(https://spdx.org/licenses/LGPL-3.0-linking-exception.html).

That is correct. The SPDX license expression would be either:
   LGPL-3.0-or-later WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception
or
   LGPL-3.0-only WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception

Unfortunately, the project doesn't seem to specify if it's LGPL-3.0 "only" or "or later" (a difference that is not distinct at this point in time, but bad practice to not specify in any case). I have filed an issue in hopes they can fix that: https://github.com/canonical/raft/issues/252

Fixed! it's LGPL-3.0-only WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception
see LGPL-3.0-only WITH LGPL-3.0-linking-exception
