Not everybody runs rpmlint for everything they produce, on the
contrary I suspect it's fairly small percentage of packagers out
there that do. If rpm itself doesn't directly complain about such
things they'll simply never get cleaned up.
And this is why for example calling rpmlint should be one of the pre steps done by koji on sending build request.
It would be good to perform at least one time a month rpmlint test across all packages, and if it anything wrong automatically should be created git issue or bugzilla ticket.
Well rpmlint would need to be made a lot better first. The rate of
false positives at the moment is enormous.
With such approach always will be chicken and egg problem because rpmlint will be not improving because it will be not used, and it will be not improving because it will not widely used.
It is necessary to cut this loop somewhere, and if it will be added in whole pipeline of the Fedora processes single change in rpmlint will automatically expose some number of packages with some issues.
I'm 100% sure that even current rpmlint will expose some number of specs which needs to be cleaned up.
"Not everybody runs rpmlint"
If everybody will be using rpmlint it will start improving .. as same as "build it and they will come".
