I think there must be some confusion here.

If this package is approved, you will the maintainer of the package in Fedora. 
Therefore it is up to you to care about things like the summary and the
changelog.  What Mandriva does is of absolutely no consequence here; you must
provide a package which is acceptable to Fedora.  You shouldn't tell me to add
something, because my function is to check the package for acceptability, not to
apply any fixes to it.

I understand that you want the library to be packaged, but your role in the
process is far more than just dropping the package in a bugzilla ticket and
being done with it.  You must maintain it in Fedora.  You must respond to
bugzilla tickets filed against it and such, issue builds and update notices,
etc.  You should know about the test suite, or find out about it, because that
is your function as the maintainer of the package.

Also, I have a feeling from your responses that this is your first package
submission, and if that's the case then you will need a sponsor.  Honestly I'm
going to need to see from you a much greater understanding of how things work in
Fedora before I personally would be willing to sponsor you.

Thus I'm going to unassign myself from this ticket, and refer you to some
documents in our wiki:
