I don't mind if he'd take over, but my previous email to him on this issue went unanswered.

However, there are some BuildRequires that I added to the SPEC file to deal with dependencies. I guess that is most of the changes needed to maintain the SPEC file I wrote (other than the description, etc). The other stuff is pretty standard and is mostly handled by setup.py.
