Mark, you're absolutely right, and I have a local copy of that same idea.
WRT your patches, I have some nitpicks. I think the generated srpm
should be the same in both CentOS and Fedora, which could be solved by
including "the other one" as a source
If you'd like take on the task of getting this upstreamed to Fedora,
you'd be helping me "a lot", if not, just know that it is in my to-do
list :-)
Pablo.

Especially since the upstream maintainer (intentionally?) reverted the order of first two distro specific patches. (This makes a clean patch possible without patching the patch.)
