It is actually documented already:

QUOTE:
Increase the "Release" tag every time you upload a new package to
avoid confusion. The reviewer and other interested parties probably
still have older versions of your SRPM lying around to check what has
changed between the old and new packages; those get confused when the
revision didn't change.

Hm... that page hasn't been updated since 2010. During that time we've
got new changelog GL describing how to handle spec file changes without
bumping the release - this seems more than appropriate in a review
process context.
BTW, also some other stuff looks a little outdated here e. g.,
ParagNemade/CommonRpmlintErrors
<
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ParagNemade/CommonRpmlintErrors>. and
the non-existing viewcvs link.
