This package needs a license review, I think.

You have License: LGPLv2, but the source files all seem to be either LGPLv2+ or
GPLv2+ (grep for "GNU Lesser" and "GNU General" and note the "any later
version" language present in all files).  However, I don't know if any of the
GPLv2+ stuff ends up on the final binary; it seems to be test-related.  You
will need to check that; if that's the case, then the final product is GPLv2+;
otherwise I think it would be LGPLv2+ unless some other license is involved.

rpmlint says:
  libmicrohttpd.x86_64: W: no-documentation
Actually the COPYING file should be in the main package, and this will go away
when that's fixed.  (Eliminating this complaint isn't the reason for moving the
COPYING file; we just want the license information in the package that people
will be installing.)

  libmicrohttpd-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
Not a problem.

  libmicrohttpd-doc.x86_64: E: zero-length 
   /usr/share/doc/libmicrohttpd-doc-0.3.1/html/d8/d26/microhttpd_8h__incl.map
Doxygen tends to do this for whatever reason.  I don't think it's a big
problem.

* source files match upstream:
