If you need sponsorship, you need to explicitly indicate it by blocking the
FE-NEEDSPONSOR bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=FE-NEEDSPONSOR
Also, check these docs:
- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group
-
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers?rd=PackageMaintainers/Join

And regarding general packaging guidelines:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/

As for the spec file:

> %define target arm-none-eabi
> %define gdb_datarootdir %{_datarootdir}/gdb-%{target}-%{version}

I see the %{_datarootdir} macro works, but /usr/share is referred to as
%{_datadir}.

> Name:         %{target}-gdb
> Version:      9.2
> Release:      1%{?dist}
> Summary:      GDB for (remote) debugging ARM bare-metal targets
> Group:                Development/Debuggers
> License:      GPLv3+
> URL:          http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/

- It's a bit safer to use spaces as a separator to avoid tabs being converted
to different numbers of spaces.
- "Group:" blocks are deprecated
- The URL redirects me to: http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/. Should that be the
case?

> BuildRoot:    %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX)
> BuildRequires:        texinfo
> BuildRequires:        ncurses-devel
> BuildRequires:        python-devel
> BuildRequires:        texinfo-tex
> BuildRequires:        expat-devel

- Explicitly specifying a buildroot via the "BuildRoot:" block is not preferred
anymore.
- Dependencies on -devel packages should be specified as "pkgconfig(foo)" like
so:
  BuildRequires:        pkgconfig(ncurses)
- Python should never be referred to without specifying the version and Python2
is End-of-Life already.

> %package devel
> Summary: GDB for (remote) debugging ARM targets
> Group: Development/Debuggers
> Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

Here, it's better to use the more explicit form:
Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}

> # Set datarootdir to have target and version in so that we can exist
> # side-by-side with other gdb installations of different versions
> CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ../gdb-%{version}/configure --prefix=%{_prefix} \
>       --libdir=%{_libdir} --mandir=%{_mandir} --infodir=%{_infodir} \
>       --datarootdir=%{gdb_datarootdir} --disable-rpath \
>       --target=%{target} --disable-nls --disable-werror --with-python 
> --without-doc --with-xml --with-expat
> make %{?_smp_mflags}

You should use %make_build instead of the "make %{?_smp_mflags}" form.

> %install
> rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
> cd build
> make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

- Cleaning the buildroot prior is no longer needed.
- Use the %make_install macro instead.

> %files
> %defattr(-,root,root,-)
> %doc gdb-%{version}/{COPYING?,COPYING?.LIB}

The %defattr macro is no longer used.

> %{_bindir}/%{target}-*
> %{_mandir}/man1/%{target}-*.1.gz
> %{_mandir}/man5/%{target}-*.5.gz
> %dir %{_datarootdir}/gdb-%{target}-%{version}
> %{_datarootdir}/gdb-%{target}-%{version}/*

- Since you're packaging only GDB, if someone adds GCC for your target later,
your wildcards might hijack its files.
- Use "%{_datadir}/gdb-%{target}-%{version}/" to properly own the dir instead
of the last 2 lines.

Currently, your package fails to build in koji and in a mock environment
locally. A successful build in a mock environment is needed to run the full
review matrix. Please, have a look why the build is failing via mock :).
