I thought it was such a minor change, that it would not require it.
Nevertheless, since there were several other issues, I put them together
into this draft:

Looks good and I think I agree with you that these are just clarifications
of language and factual fixes. So no need to vote on them. Thanks for
collecting them in one place!
One thing I noticed from reading your draft is that we mention
%{_buildrootdir} but don't mention %{buildroot}. The latter is used much
more than the former. Should we add this and mention that packagers might
be looking for this instead of %{_buildrootdir) anyway?
