Spins are generally resubmitted if something substantial changes in the Spin. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec998bc2ce7e48a1a9853eb70b495ceaa97d7c3c The component group is the only change in the kickstart; it's hard to tell what that means in real terms (package changes). I think the easiest way to proceed is for the Board to simply treat it as a new spin, and go through the approval process, which is pretty quick in any case. Whether the spin can use the MeeGo trademarks is a separate issue. I've been working with Peter Robinson and am awaiting a response from the Linux Foundation as to whether the name "MeeGo spin by Fedora" is acceptable to them. Their trademark guidelines[1] give examples of pre-approved uses but this isn't one of them. The closest we could find was "Fedora Spin for MeeGo" which is a bit awkward, but would do in a pinch if they don't approve the former name.
