I searched in the wiki, but I didn't found anything relevant, however 
I remember that once a message was sent to a list explaining what should
go in comps. Maybe this should be added to the wiki.

What I remember is that package and subpackages goes into comps, not 
SRPM names. In comps there should only appear packages that are directly 
usefull, so no library, no perl or python module (except when they
are associated with a usefull script).

There seems to be exceptions to these exceptions since devel packages 
appears in Development groups, and there are libs in 
'Engineering and Scientific'.
