As said on the cracklib review, we now want the update to the
DEVELOPERS file to be done as part of the patch adding the package. I
normally fix this up when applying, but I have other comments below.

Such information should go at the end of the patch description, ...

... here.

Also, both of your patches have been submitted upstream. Has upstream
released a new version with your fixes?

Ditto formatting of the patch.

fedorahosted.org is dead, so it is no longer possible to use this as an
upstream/download location. Has the project moved elsewhere?

Line too long.

As said above, this site is dead.

BSD is not precise enough. Which BSD variant?

LGPLv2+ should now be LGPL-2.0+ or LGPL-2.1+, as we use SPDX license
codes.

No LIBPWQUALITY_LICENSE_FILES ?

Why is an autoreconf needed?

Thanks!
