If those packages are still not following current packaging guidelines

The presence of these bugs tells you nothing about the quality of
those packages. Also it doesn't tell you about other packages that
might have passed the review 5+ years ago, but since then fallen out
of compliance with the guidelines.
This looks like a general opinion on package reviews and not about
merge-reviews.
Why can't we consider them like as a new reviews? and why people so
against merge-review just because we got those packages already in
Fedora?
This is where having some sort of automated testing of all packages
would be good (perhaps running fedora-review over packages, as was
suggested in this thread already).
That will be a welcome move but again will maintainers read those
reviews and work on to fix any reported issues?
FWIW, Debian does this already: http://lintian.debian.org/
Those who want to see all the automated work, keep looking into

I don't care much about Merge reviews. From my POV it doesn't make sense
to do them, when we have a lot of packages, which went through Merge
review years ago and can be against Guidelines again.
I would rather invest our free time on automation.
