Sorry now I am fixing up other packages, however:

(and I just note that I prefer to write one (Build)Requires on each line
  because it is easier to read, especially when (Build)Requires changed)

Well, while I don't use vendor_ruby now (and with the transition from
1.8.6.x to 1.8.7.x on Fedora perhaps this is not needed),
actually this is the upstream change:

from ruby_1_8_7/NEWS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
     19  == Changes since the 1.8.6 release
     20
     21  === Configuration changes
     22
     23  * vendor_ruby directory
     24
     25    A new library directory named `vendor_ruby' is introduced in
     26    addition to `site_ruby'.  The idea is to separate libraries
     27    installed by the package system (`vendor') from manually (`site')
     28    installed libraries preventing the former from getting overwritten
     29    by the latter, while preserving the user option to override vendor
     30    libraries with site libraries. (`site_ruby' takes precedence over
     31    `vendor_ruby')
     32
     33    If you are a package maintainer, make each library package configure
     34    the library passing the `--vendor' option to `extconf.rb' so that
     35    the library files will get installed under `vendor_ruby'.
     36
     37    You can change the directory locations using configure options such
     38    as `--with-sitedir=DIR' and `--with-vendordir=DIR'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So as this is the explicit upstream change, I want to
keep this.
