Some of them don't meet the 'long running' critera. They just happen to
be running when you ran your check.

No. This is not a releng task. 

This is something that should be done by (in order): 

- The maintainers of these packages. 

- Interested/motivated provenpackagers who want to make the changes and
  bring the packages in line with guidelines. 

- Some other group FESCo is able to task with it (which really might
  come down to just them). 

But since this change is for just globally enabling it, probibly the
best thing to do is wait for this change to be accepted and a mass
rebuild instead of worrying now about specific packages.
