R2spec or cpan2rpm work by converting existing metadata. Raw font files
do not have the kind of metadata which could be used to generate

the info that wouldn't be there otherwise.

But anyway you're invited like everyone else on the list to review,
comment on and complete the current font packaging guideline change
