W: unable to load spellchecking dictionary for fr.
There is a French version of the package %description (%description -l fr)
but you do not have a French dictionary installed so rpmlint cannot do a
spelling check.  I believe installing hunspell-fr would help, or you can
ignore the complaing.

awf-gtk4.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary awf-gtk4
rpmlint --explain no-manual-page-for-binary says "Each executable in
standard binary directories should have a man page."

So the package installs an executable named "awf-gtk4" is installed, but
no corresponding manual page is installed.  It is nice if all
executables have manual pages, and you should check the source to make
sure that it doesn't include one which somehow isn't being installed,
but otherwise your options are:

1. See if someone else has written a manual page which you can include.
2. Write one yourself.

One option to consider is to use help2man:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-puma/blob/rawhide/f/rubygem-puma.spec#_106-112

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rubygem-puma/blob/rawhide/f/rubygem-puma.spec#_172-178
Does it actually make sense to do that though?


Well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But you could then also argue with the two suggestions above.

And there are certainly project which are using man pages as an source for their --help output.

If the contents of the manpage is just a duplicate of the output of
"$binary --help", does it serve any purpose (except inflate package
size)?
