So my question is: Is it up to the packager to either use
%{_mandir}/man1/foo.1.gz or %{_mandir}/man1/foo.1*?
Formally, yes, it's up to the packager.
I couldn't find any
recommendation on this in the Fedora guidelines.
IMO, * should be used so that if/when we change to bzip2 or xz or
some other compression method you won't have to update spec files.
Agreed. *.specs which use *.gz will break, should Fedora switch to a
different compression.
... other distros did so many years, ago.
