I think this once again needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis:

If upstream changed a lot of stuff or if the spec file was heavily
reworked -> new review.

If it's more like a regular update with a name-change -> announce it on
fedora-extras list and attach a spec-file diff so interested people can
quickly skim over it and veto if they see blockers. If everything is
quiet for 48 hours -> just import it,request branches, ...
