The Versioning guidelines currently state that when doing "Tilde Versioning", <pkgrel> must be set as "detailed above" - there, <pkgrel> is defined to be 0.N<extra stuff> for prereleases. This doesn't make any sense for the "Tilde Versioning" case though, where this information is already conveyed by using the tilde notation in the Version tag.
<pkgrel>
0.N<extra stuff>
Version
I suggest we change the wording of the "Tilde Versioning" case to say "use the rules for <pkgrel> as if it was a stable release", since marking it as a prerelease (both for humans and for RPM sorting) is already taken care of by the information in the Version tag.

Is this still needed? Seems simple enough, can you just do a PR for it and we can merge it?
