Hello Rahul,
Thank you for the big work what you make writing this document (second 
link). And most of this things is basically known.
As I mention above, what about your first link - main apache rpm package 
fully ignore this guidelines!

But why you are not consider Steinar H. Gunderson as upstream amintainer 
of apache mpm-itk???
In any case, as maintainer of package I take care about maintenance load 
by this rpm. As I remember, it had not any urgent issues with adaptation 
to current releases of apache for the past year or even more.

P.S. I'm write mail to Steinar H. Gunderson with question why it is not 
in upstream...
