Owner
Rahul Sundaram (mether)
Rationale
To avoid post import cleanup like the following
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-August/msg00563.html
I propose that we add a section to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL that recommends packagers to pick the best source.
This will be a tip in the SourceURL page:
