It's only 'pre-review' since I can't be a sponsor.

1) license should be 'GPLv3+' (according to headers in source files)

2) why do you use 'pre-release' Release tag? consider changing 0.1 -> 1
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Package_Release

3) consider writing more detailed description

4) preserving timestamps: your Makefile must preserve timestamps using 'install
-p'
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Timestamps 

5) your package doesn't own the directory '%{_datadir}/xcowsay/', see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/UnownedDirectories

6) note about desktop file:
MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file,
and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the
%install section. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need
a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation.

7) consider adding man pages describing other binaries than xcowsay: xcowdream,
xcowthink etc.

Good luck!
