Their author left Fedora a few years ago. They're now unmaintained and
may be removed soon (see FPC ticket[1]).

I don't infer a removal request from the ticket's title: "SourceURL:
document that the forge macros are deprecated / unmaintained".
Yes, it should be mentioned that they are currently unmaintained. I, for
one, am a happy user of the forge macros and would like to keep using
them. I probably started using them seeing examples, that did not have a
deprecation warning.
As mentioned in the ticket above and the PR [1] linked, separating the
forge macros from redhat-rpm-config, may be the way forward. @gotmax23
already provided a PoC. I'd be willing to help out making this happen.
That said, my knowledge of RPM macros is limited.
