My suggestion would be:

- Packages must have a URL tag
- If possible, the URL should be valid
- If the package is completely created by Fedora, use
https://fedoraproject.org
- If there is no upstream web page, use the Source URL, or, if the web
   server allows directory listings, specify the directory of the Source
   URL
- If the original URL does not work, try an archive.org one and add a
   comment to the SPEC explaining when it was noticed that the URL does
   not work
- If archive.org does not work, use the last known URL and add a comment

An additional hack would be to add an achor tag to URLs that are known
to not work anymore, such as the following:

"http://example.com/#Fedora:+does+not+work,+no+new+URL+known";

I don't see how the effect would be different from not having an URL tag, except that your proposal causes more bureaucracy.
