Since you're aiming to submit the package as an official Fedora package, the .spec file should not live upstream. For Fedora packages, the Fedora dist-git repository is considered the "source of truth" for a package's .spec files: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_spec_maintena... So you actually shouldn't track the .spec file in the upstream project's git repo, but use the official git repo provided for every Fedora package instead.

As for the second question, yes, a .patch file sounds like the best way to do that until the next release has those changes.
