That does seem a bit of a misuse of the field. Clearly Apache is not a
Fedora project, for instance. RPM.org's only site says this about an

Software, Inc.". Therefore, RPM will store White Socks Software, Inc.
White Socks is clearly (to me) a play on Red Hat indicating that White
Socks (Red Hat) is producing the package and is therefore the Vendor.
as the vendor of the package."

It really ought to identify the producer of a project, not the compiler
of the source code. There's other fields for that (packager).
I think you are misreading the documentation.
The Apache project is not writing the spec file for the package built in The
Fedora repos. It is not building the package, testing it, and tracking updates.
They should not receive bug reports on issues with how httpd is packaged in
Fedora.
Perhaps if they were to do all of the above, and you were getting those
packages from an Apache Project yum repository, you would expect to see the
vendor tag set to the Apache Project.
