I just looked at that guideline and realized that the template suggests making emacs-common-%{pkg} as srpm. I thought CVS module name should be the same as srpm name and it should be usually the same as the upstream tarball name or what they prefer. or does this mean we are going to make an exception for Emacsen packages to have such CVS module name?

Yes - that's been the case for a long time now - this comes from the previous package naming guidelines and was discussed at length previously - please see threads on fedora-packaging recently for those references.
