That's very odd. The guidelines remain the same for all of us. So a
spec
that didn't pass a review the first time should not pass the review
again without changes.
Just to clarify, the main issue was the application was an UI app in
gtk with plugins.
The plugins was distributed as shared library files that were dlopened
(in this case using g_lib's g_module_open) and loaded on the main
application.
The guy reviewing my package, pointed to me the devel package I shiped
for the plugins was useless. I tried to explain him what it was for,
and told him to remove both plugins and devel files, but got no
response.
Pretty much all gui packages back in time implemented plugins that way,
and shiped the devel package exactly as I did.
The guy that later reviewed the other contributor's submission for
review, did not saw that as an issue.

this is the review request.
I am not sure there was a guideline blocking the package.
Thanks for sharing your story. If I were in your shoes (and with my
experience), I would call out such review on fedora-devel for second
opinion. After all, it should not about preventing something to get into
Fedora, but about the best technical solution and that needs sometimes
some compromise. I believe there used to be "use your best judgement"
somewhere in the guidelines, can't find it on any prominent place.
I understand that this might be hard for newcomers, but I am curious now
if we actually encourage call for second opinion somewhere in the "Join"
documentation.
