You're not the only one wondering.
There is a bugzilla about it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=107393
But it is almost a year old now. Some have cc:ed themselves, there has been some field modification and duplicates. But as far as can be seen from the outside, there hasn't been any real action.

The problem is that as it currently stands, specspo is a completely broken process.
Background: Specspo was intended to provide a solution to two different problems: 1) A unified location for our documentation team to proofread and edit the various textual areas of a specfile 2) A unified location for translations of these textual areas.
Unfortunately, with the first of these, it basically means that there isn't a good canonical location. Changes would get made in specspo and then not pushed back into the spec file of the package itself. Then, merging in updated descriptions from spec files as well as new packages becomes something of a nightmare.
So, to get out of this mess, I think that there are going to be some changes to how specspo works, it's just a matter of getting the round 'tuits to get the changes done (or even written up so that someone else can do it :-) On my list, hopefully in the next day or so for at least the writing it up part...
