IANAR, but a few thoughts as I just spent yesterday writing my own spec for this
as I'm an idiot who searched for "pnp4nagios" instead of "pnp":

- The %name "pnp4nagios" is the official name of the Sourceforge project and may
be clearer (obviously has nothing to do with plug-and-play). Additionally, it
matches OpenSUSE's package name, which is probably helpful where that abides by
Fedora's naming conventions.
- /usr/libexec/pnp is a very logical place for the process-perfdata.pl script in
FHS terms, but in keeping with existing convention and filesystem layout it may
make more sense to drop it in %{_libdir}/nagios/plugins.
- The package is creating a separate %{_sysconfdir}/%{name} directory for
configs to keep it separate from %{_sysconfdir}/nagios, but is dropping web
files inside %{_datadir}/nagios/html, which seems inconsistent/incorrect to me;
it might be a better idea to give it a separate data directory and distribute an
httpd conf.d file.

Beyond that, I think it looks way, way better than mine. :)
