****, google ate my answer... here it goes again:

General instructions are at:

http://sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html

You should start by downloading the old version at:

http://sagemath.org/packages/standard/sphinx-1.0.4.p5.spkg

and unpack it. You'll find a file SPKG.txt with relevant information,
like the email of the maintainer (Mike Hansen), that you should
contact in order to avoid conflict, but will probably read this thread
eventually.

You should update the package src with the source of the new version,
and check the patches one by one. This patches were needed in order to
adapt the generic sphinx for Sage. They may or may not be required for
the new version, and they may or may not apply to the new version. You
should check which is the case, and whether new patches are needed for
some reason. Then check if your package installs and the documentation
gets built without errors. If it doesn't, and you stuck with a
specific patch, post back. If it does, update SPKG.txt, use hg commit
to include the changes in the mercurial repository, then pack it back
and post back to advertise the new fact.

Good luck
