Do Callway > SPDX license changes where there's a clear mapping and no other additions or removals still have to be announced? That wasn't my understanding.
My understanding of this rule/expectation is that it does not have anything directly to do with how the License: field is populated. Rather, it's to notify the Fedora community about a substantive upstream license change.
The new documentation says that there is supposed to be an announcement on both devel and legal. I have seen such announcements on devel before (in browsing list archives once in a blue moon) but I am not sure I've ever seen any on legal. I am not sure how important it is to preserve this rule at all, or to include both mailing lists, but I understood us to be retaining a rule that at least in theory previously existed.
