Points to note on review:

1) From rpmlint:
  /var/lib/gofer/journal is mode 0777
    - I spoke with Jeff, this is intentional.  The directory is used by the
watchdog functionality in gofer and requires a shared location on disk that is
accessible and writeable by all

2) From rplmint:
  gofer.src:110: W: libdir-macro-in-noarch-package (main package)
%{_libdir}/%{name}/plugins/
  Gofer is storing python plugins (non C compiled code) in
/usr/lib/gofer/plugins
  Similar to behavior seen with yum and it's plugins.
    - I discussed this point with Jeff and feel this is sane.

3) subpackages python-gofer and ruby-gofer do not require parent package.
    - This is intentional.  As noted, python-gofer and ruby-gofer are client
libraries to access a gofer agent.  There is a use case for them being
installed alone, without the parent rpm, 'gofer'.
