You hardly will find any, because probably all rpm-based distros apply rules similar to that of Fedora (e.g. SUSE does as well) and because people trying to implement them will be facing technically difficulties at various places. Anyway, what you will find is tarball-names containing non-ASCII characters, which would require transliteration to make these tarballs' names to fit into Fedora's package-naming rules. We've repeatedly had this case in Fedora. One case, I (vaguely) remember was a font-package submission, which applied French accented characters in its tarball name. It back then had triggered a discussion similar to this, because the package submitter had refused to transliterate the package name into ASCII.
