I have no idea how their build system works but one thing that may help
is to provide a patch that makes package.spec.in and a makefile rule.

That way they won't have to do much maintenance on the spec file and you
can write it so that it at least conforms with fedora package naming /
splitting guidelines if not fully fedora compliant.

They may appreciate it, sometimes they write a spec file because they
want to have an RPM to distribute but they don't really know about
packaging and would welcome a well written spec file from someone who
does.
