I noticed our package review process
doesn't explicitly say "After you
make an update to the package, bump the 'Release' number and
post a
new link each time." This is a popular convention, but it
doesn't seem
to be formally documented.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process
Should this guidance be part of our instructions?

It is actually documented already:

Increase the "Release" tag every time you upload a new package to
avoid confusion. The reviewer and other interested parties
probably still have older versions of your SRPM lying around to
check what has changed between the old and new packages; those get
confused when the revision didn't change.

Hm... that page hasn't been updated since 2010. During that time
we've got new changelog GL describing how to handle spec file
changes without bumping the release - this seems more than
appropriate in a review process context.
BTW, also some other stuff looks a little outdated here e. g., ParagNemade/CommonRpmlintErrors.
and the non-existing viewcvs link.
