What is the situation wrt new packages? Should we enforce the use of
rpmautospec during reviews or is it completely optional?

I think we should encourage the usage of rpmautospec for new packages,
provided that the packager feels comfortable enough to use it. E.g. I
wouldn't suggest it for someone's first package. But this shouldn't
become a *MUST*, at least not yet.

I am curious regarding the reasons for not recommending rpmautospec for new maintainers? It is an automation feature that removes manual steps from the process. Using it is simpler than doing the same manually. I think we should offer the simplest possible process for newcomers and only recommend manual overrides for use cases that automation cannot handle (yet).

A transition period where all the tools are updated to cope with rpmautospec may be needed. We do not want to offer a process that prints errors and warnings that should just be ignored. At least fedora-review and rpmlint have issues, discussed in another subthread.
