I am on vacation so I haven't had all that much time to review things 
properly, but one thing I noticed is that, as someone not familiar with 
Lisp who might be reviewing packages, some of the guidelines don't 
really enlighten me as to how I might actually tell if a particular 
package meets them.  For example, I see that libraries should be managed 
by "asdf" and that they should be able to load asdf with some specific 
lisp code.  The guidelines, however, don't inform me as to how I might 
tell if the package does those things.

Also, a specfile template would really be appreciated.  As it is, if 
these guidelines were passed, I'd have no idea how to actually review 
lisp packages.
