The general consensus seem to push for more of a best practises
document. So I am going with
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Markmc/Draft_package_update_guidelines
It appears, most maintainers only have been ignoring the description
fields or not filling them properly because of lack of documentation or
awareness on how it is being used. I am hoping just merging this
information in the wiki and adding appropriate references would be
enough to solve that problem. If not, we will deal with that, later.
