Might I suggest that a similar policy is adopted for the SPEC files in
CVS for all GNOME modules. If the SPEC don't include some files it
should anyone with the needed skills are allowed to add them without
sending a patch to mailing-lists etc. Chris Chabot is doing some great
work updating the SPEC's to work with GNOME 2.0 now, so it would be a
shame if they became unworkable again because the maintainer of module X
didn't use RPMS and due to that didn't bother to keep it up to date with
changes.
