If this is not what 'proven packagers' are allowed to do, it might be good
to have everyone who has proven packager go through some sort of
"retraining" as what Mattia announced doing has been common practice for a
long time. It actually seems covered by
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Who_is_allowed_to_modify_which_packages/

If the packager doesn’t keep track of those items, then other experienced
packagers are free to fix stuff for them.

I am expecting that this is an area which needs more clarity.
