You don't need an approval if the package was allready approved and is 
in cvs... Spec looks OK for me and and it seems you havn't change very 
much...

But OK, I'd like to mention a few things:
  - BuildRoot, as described in the PackagingGuidelines, pls.
    (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines).
    %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

  - Why does the new package not depend on http(/-devel) >= 2.0.38, as 
the old package in CVS does?

  - Don't forget the %{dist} tag in the release, if you intend to cvs 
commit this.

  - setup can be written as setup -q (the -n modsecurity-%{version} is 
not needed)

Best,
  Oliver
