Standard procedure, everything seems to be in order:


https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/62152

The review exception is valid because it's an alternative version of an
existing package, and Nils is also the maintainer of the existing package.

While most people prefer that alternative versions carry a "compat" suffix
(i.e. the new version is the one without the suffix, and the old version
has the suffix), this is - contrary to popular belief - not actually
required or even mentioned in the packaging guidelines.
