A few other comments:

The license on the most of the source files that I looked at indicate GPLv3 or
later, though some indicate version 2 or later.  Combined, these would simply
be "GPLv3 or later", which would imply a Licence: tag of "GPLv3+".  However,
the program itself, in its help output, explicitly says "GPLv2".  Upstream
needs to clarify the situation.

The %description should be trimmed a bit.  Really only the first paragraph is
appropriate for a package description, but it could also really use some
definition of "metalink".

rpmlint has one complaint:
  metalink.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm 
   /usr/share/doc/metalink-0.3.5/example/gen.sh
Generally documentation isn't executable, but it's not usually a review blocker
unless the documentation carries additional dependencies that the base package
doesn't.  You should be OK.

It would be really nice if this had a manpage.
