Do not attach SRPM to the bug. Attach a diff -u from the original spec
to the upgraded spec file. Then the package maintainer can more easily
review the patch, apply the patch and so forth.
If this a package that you would like to help maintain going forward,
and you are already a Fedora packager, you can request to co-maintain
the package. You would then work with the existing maintainer to
decide who has time to look at bugs/upgrades etc..
Funny story: I was going to go request co-maintainer status but
apparently, I already am a co-maintainer for mpd. I applied and was
approved in the F16 cycle according to this bug. I just seem to have
completely forgotten about it!

You mention a successful build. Have you been able to test if the
build actually runs / works etc ?
Yep. It works for me here:
[asinha@ankur fedora-packages]$ rpm -q mpd
mpd-0.17.5.89d2d64-1.fc21.x86_64
I'll get in touch with the other maintainers and get this fixed ASAP.
It's a git snapshot that I've packaged, so it's not just a straight
forward update really.
