Hi, so here's a bunch of notes that I believe might help in the review process.

I looked into adopting and updating the mozilla-fira-fonts package and it
turned out a bit more complex than I expected, with even the chance of me
having to port from older macros to newer ones. So I though that since I was
going to sumbit FiraGO eventually anyway, why not package it first?

So, for FiraGO I had two ways of getting the fonts:

1) Grabbing from Github at https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraGO, the problem with
this approach is that there is a 1.000 tag but not a 1.001 tags, menaing I
would need to clone a specific commit of the repo
2) Download from the foundry at https://bboxtype.com/typefaces/FiraGO/ via
https://bboxtype.com/downloads/FiraGO/Download_Folder_FiraGO_1001.zip, however
the OFL license file isn't included and has to be downloaded separately
(https://bboxtype.com/downloads/FiraGO/OFL.txt)

I chose approach 2.

I based the spec on the `spectemplate-fonts-0-simple.spec` template. But I had
issues with the following macros:

%global foundry - People on the Fedora Devel Matrix room said that this foundry
wasn't a "registered foundry" or something along those lines, so apaprently I
don't need to fill this
%global fontlicenses - Couldn't get the package build to accept the downloaded
OFL.txt file
%global fontdocs - I was planning to add the technical documentation PDFs here,
but either I had uses escaping spaces or it said the file didn't exist, so
eventually I gave up
%global fontdocsex - it apparently depends on the previous two, so removed as
well

I did forget to look into fontconfig priority though.
