That's not accurate. If a new package submitter asked where to find that in the
packaging guidelines, one could not answer that question.
Documentation files are supposed to be marked as %doc, and when using the %doc
macro, that one defaults to %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation
The guidelines don't explicitly request the files to be stored in that path.
They don't comment on the different path per sub-package either. And some
source tarballs install into a non-versioned /usr/share/doc/%{name} by default,
and packagers only sometimes change that. Sometimes they even turn a versioned
dir into a non-versioned one.
