Without this the orientation of the package is not apparent using only the FAB layer.

This the only change. And I changed the single and dual versions of PowerPAKSO8 even though the below picture shows dual without the bevel that is just because I placed the old version of the foot before I saved the change so that they could be compared.

The bevel is 1mm (across and down, 1.414mm diagonally) as specified.

I have another foot I use myself which is supposedly a more "universal" PowerSO8. I made it from this document:

I can submit that as a replacement upon request. But do note that I did not do that in this case, I only changed the FAB layer of the previously published KiCAD symbol. I would only do that on request.

All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the footprint(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • If there are matching symbol or 3D model pull requests, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.

Be patient, we maintainers are volunteers with limited time and need to check your contribution against the datasheet. You can speed up the process by providing all the necessary information (see above). And you can speed up the process even more by providing a dimensioned drawing of your contribution. A tutorial on how to do that is found here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/how-to-check-footprint-correctness/9279 (This is optional!)
