1. So is there any robot that can detect them (like some rpmlint magic option)?
I showed you an example, I can even comment in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225648, but it'd be only one of
thousands of packages.

2. Is there a policy regarding the time after which we can assume
obsoletes/requires as obsolete? (Like my proposed 4 releases backwards.)

3. If we get rid of currently obsolete tags with the merge review, what
happens after a Fedora release or two from the merge review? They're always
going to be some tags that "expire" with time. A monthly-run robot would keep
the list short.

4. The robot would also detect newly added Obsoletes: which (because of a
typo) don't match anything.
