Linters hammering KDE infrastructure

[Ben Cooksley]

Hi Packagers,

The following is a friendly request to please ensure that your
packages do not contain any references which may be subject to
automatic validation, and thus result in a heavy load being placed on
KDE infrastructure.

It would appear that Redhat / Fedora packages are not compliant in this regard:

In this case, the index page of quickgit.kde.org is being hit. Twice a
second, sometimes more. And the index page is the most expensive of
all of them.

Please amend your packaging directives as soon as possible to remove
these references.
