Just speaking for myself here, in my experience distro-level packaging usually isn't part of a project's goals and can be an extreme distraction considering the vast number of distros out there, all with their own little quirks. Spec files and other contrib items work their way into source trees and are useful until the 3rd party API changes and the original maintainers lose interest. I'd look into the checkin history of the spec file to see if anyone has been making regular updates. Or even easier, go get the SRPM from EPEL, which is known to work, and alter it as you see fit for your purposes.
