Based on the last [EPEL
meeting](https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2023-11-01/epel.2023-11-01-20.00.log.html),
where https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11751 was raised, I would like to suggest
to disallow most control characters in at least `%summary`, `%description` and
`%changelog` already in `rpmbuild`. Control characters, like `^S` (023) cause
unfortunately issues at `createrepo_c`, see e.g.
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/issues/327. Aside of
that, various control characters in spec files are most likely always mistakes
rather than intended, I would assume?
