I'll start the review process now but since I'll be unavailable till september
in a few days someone else will probably have to finish it (or you'll have to
wait or be very reactive)

1. Please make sure you've done all the steps in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle#2.a
and in particular the wiki-related ones
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIL_Gentium_Basic_fonts

2. Gentium Basic is OFL, not GPL

3. Its homepage is http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium_Basic

4. Please make sure to touch the txt files so your recoding does not change
their timestamp each time you rebuild them (look at one of the gfs fonts specs
for example)

5. please use sil-gentium-basic-fonts as package name

6. for fedora versions ≥ 9 you can drop the -f argument to fc-cache

7. You can flesh up your description a bit. You can take inspiration from
Debian's packaging
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsi&format=file&media_id=GentiumBasic_110_diff&filename=ttf-sil-gentium-basic_1.1.diff.gz

8. Since the font is effectively a limited Gentium with more faces, you need to
teach fontconfig to substitute it to Gentium (and the Gentium packager will need
to do it the other way). Look how it's done for dejavu and dejavu lgc, that's
just a little fontconfig file to add
