The buildflags.md doc is indeed linked from the Packaging Guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/RPMMacros/#_macros_providing_compiler_and_linker_flags It might be put into a more prominent location, but it *is* referenced. I should know, I put the link there :) https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/c/16efbb0b4d2337b3d59e7a61c38b78cd2a3e8c1f Not sure why the ticket you filed wasn't updated or closed.
