However I cannot find in the wiki the procedure that can be used to rename a package without changing anything else.

More precisely, it doesn't seems to be on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure There are elements on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife but it isn't really appropriate (in my opinion appropriate informations should go here).

If not, what is the procedure? <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list>
Google found this for me: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20061207 Quoting: """
Free Discussion * Renaming packages* When a package is renamed, the package owner is allowed to import therenamed package as a new module, mark the old module as a dead.package and request branches. Referring to the old package and the fact that this is a rename helps people know what's going on in regards to the branches.* Part of this policy is listed here:http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/PackageEndOfLife and we can link to that as a reference.* awjb will document this.
""" But:
Renaming a package is just bringing in the new package, getting it reviewed, particularly for correct Provides/Obsoletes, and then requesting that the old named package be removed.
That's how i remember it as well; the FESCo decision above was IIRC changed to "review renamed package" later. But seems neither of the two decisions were properly documented in the wiki afaics :-/
