No, you should follow what is written here ("Q: How do I figure out what version
of the GPL/LGPL my package is under?"):
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ

It's OK. It is more important to check that the version you supply matches the
upstream one. You only need to remember to update it at every new release.

When you request a review is because you think your package is mature enough. I
suggest you to work on adding subpackages and posting an update. Moreover,
gforge is not really useful without an SCM tool.

Meanwhile, since you need to be sponsored, I suggest you to follow what is
described in the HowToGetSponsored wiki page:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/HowToGetSponsored

And in particular that "The best ways for you to illustrate your understanding
of the packaging guidelines are to submit quality packages and to assist with
package reviews."

Since GForge is a request on the WishList
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList), I written a note
that there is this review request. This should give you more visibility.

I'll be on holidays really soon, so I hope someone else can step in and help you.
