I will just comment on the CC0 issue. I don't see any problems here for the
Fedora CC0 policy, but one of the remaining CC0 files is the README.md which is
currently basically empty. We have classified CC0 as allowed for "content" and
disallowed generally (in particular for code) but haven't yet dealt with the
issue of CC0 documentation. A non-empty README.md file should probably be
classified as documentation. The current Fedora approach to documentation
licensing is that "allowed-documentation" licenses have to meet all the
requirements for normal "allowed" licenses, which CC0 doesn't. If the upstream
developer were to actually populate the README.md file we'd have to face the
question whether to make an exception for CC0 for documentation. We already
have other CC licenses (which have the same problemlatic language about
patents) grandfathered in to the allowed-documentation policy but we were
disinclined to add CC0 because we didn't think it was commonly used for
documentation in repositories otherwise not generally licensed under CC0. 

So there's nothing that has to be done here for this branch, but this could be
an issue for the future, which the upstream developer could make disappear by
picking a different license (e.g. BSD-3-Clause) for the
possibly-someday-nonempty README.md :)
