Hi Joshua,

Thanks for new version, results looks way better overall, but we still
have a few errors.

I now have this issue on some builds:
ERROR: nativesdk-sdk-provides-dummy-1.0-r0 do_create_spdx: Could not find a static SPDX document named static-nativesdk-sdk-provides-dummy

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/68/builds/3335

And some errors in oe-selftests:

Also, it looks like you did not add yourself as a maintainer of
