Is there an existing such new check request for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Explain

Usually if a package uses fortran the first approach is to just have

BDEPEND="virtual/fortran"

With clear deficits compared to the recommended inherit fortran-2.

Examples

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sci-physics/fastjet/fastjet-3.4.0-r1.ebuild#n35
^ still uses BDEPEND on fortran, while the later version is updated using inherit instead:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sci-physics/fastjet/fastjet-3.4.2.ebuild#n15

gentoo/sci#1267 (comment)

Just grepping through ::gentoo I see many virtual/fortan BDEPENDS that probably should better use the fortran eclass.

Output message

suggest usage of inherit fortran-2 over BDEPEND="virtual/fortran"
