And the proposal has now been approved by FPC:
https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-02-13/fpc.2020-02-13-17.00.txt

It shall soon replace the content in
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/FontsPolicy/

and make it easier to create good font packages in Fedora.

> It is based on the new fonts-rpm-macros project for automation:

The associated review request is here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1803281

Depending on how long the review takes, some of the material in
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/builds/

may end up in Fedora 32, or slip to the next release.

If it slips pre Fedora 33 font package changes will probably be limited
to conservative updates.
