In particular, you should open a Review request for gsequencer as the next
step.

'-n gsequencer' is a noop, just drop it for readability.
Similarly, %setup -q -n %{name}-%{version} → %setup -q
or oven just %autosetup.

In %files:
%{_libdir}/gsequencer/* → %{_libdir}/gsequencer
(you need to "own" the directory too).
Similarly in %{_datadir}, if you run rpmlint I'm pretty sure it'll complain
about unowned directories.

In general, it's better to put each Requires/BuildRequires item on it's own
line. Diffs looks better and it's easier to spot mistakes.

No dots at the end of Summary.

Some of the explicit dependencies, e.g. Requires: libags, are most
likely uneeded — rpm generates dependencies on libraries automatically.

Also, I'm not sure you need so many subpackages: it's not Debian
where every teeny-tiny library needs a separate subpackage. In particular,
you can at least merge all the -devel subpackages into one.

But the package looks nice in general. Should not be an issue to get
it accepted.
