I uploaded the new spec and SRPM in the same location as listed above.
It's not strictly required, but it's a good idea to bump the release number and upload a new SRPM. This feels a little bureaucratic, but it will show potential sponsors that you understand the process of bugfixing and releasing new versions in Fedora. (In Fedora's build system, Koji, every new build requires a unique NEVR, Name-Epoch-Version-Release combination).
Ah, I'll do that in the future then. I didn't do it this time since the package hadn't been released, but I have no problem bumping it in the future for bugfixes even if the previous ones haven't been released.
Another thing that will help with getting sponsored is submitting more than one package, or in particular, doing unofficial reviews of others' packages. Either approach will show sponsors that you understand the Fedora guidelines and you're a reasonable person to work with :)
I already have one other package submitted: the_silver_searcher (bug 1008063). I also have a few other RubyGems packages I want to submit (all dependencies of Rubinius, which I also have mostly working locally, but since it depends on some RubyGems I figured I'd start with those). I just started with this one to check if I was on the right track for packaging RubyGems.
Thanks for the tips!
