This sounds terrific !
I too can't wait till Fedora adopts it.

However I always have a hard time understanding what the issue caught
by RPMLint actually is.
I would like to see some library of the checks with the explanation of
what it is, why it is important and usual examples of bad / correct
code and how to fix it. Something like CWEs (e.g. [1])
Is there something like it already by any chance ?

There is a long way between an error / warning being reported by
RPMLint with maintainer just ignoring it, and the maintainer to
understand the value and importance of having it fixed (as well as
knowledge how to fix it)
