Please make the additions in the spec. It might be a good idea to insert 
helpful comments (e.g. on static builds, different distros, general rpm 
building process) there - this would be a good place. Please do not use your 
own version of the spec file to do the guru stuff. Rather change the spec 
file in cvs.
What I want is as much trancparency as possible. That will keep the project 
dynamic and open for new people coming and taking over the places of the 
leaving. It's not about being fussy!
