What the heck? This should have been gimp2 for the old version, not
gimp3 for the new version...
Also, how did this pass review?
License: LGPLv3+
And I'll answer myself: it hasn't or at least I can't find any review
ticket.
Nils, could you explain how this package ended up in Fedora?
Standard procedure, everything seems to be in order:
https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/62152
The review exception is valid because it's an alternative version of an
existing package, and Nils is also the maintainer of the existing package.
It that exception automatic ? I thought it had to be explicitly
requested from FPC ? eg in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Review_Process_Exemption_Procedure
It says:
"The FPC can grant exceptions to the normal package review process.
This may happen, for instance, if a large number of similar packages
are being submitted at once or if a package is being updated to a
new major version while the old version is being kept in the
distribution with a different name.
..
Just file a ticket here, set the component to "Review Process Exception"
and explain (with detail) why you're requesting the exemption and the
committee will consider it in the next meeting. "
So gimp3 falls under the 2nd example documented there, but still sounds
like an FPC ticket was needed ?
This is documented here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/#_package_review_process
The section of the wiki page you linked should probably be updated/retired.

Anyway, if packagers are abusing this exception to import packages which don't
even build, perhaps we should revisit if this exception is needed.
