Qrow said that Raven has someone powerful on her side, and when she mentioned not knowing the Grimm would show up that soon, he said he didn't mean the Grimm and didn't mean Raven either. That means, if Qrow was talking about the Spring Maiden, Raven is not Spring.

If Raven really does see the bandit tribe as family, I can't imagine she would be very happy about the Brotherhood taking one of her bandits away for being the Spring Maiden, especially if the Brotherhood intends to do something to her for using her Maiden powers for looting and killing. I now wonder if Yang might not have been born a twin... if Raven thought the other was far more useful to the tribe(a maiden) maybe she did raise one daughter... "The strong live..." after all.

That would go hand to hand with the theory that Raven left Yang at Taiyang's doorstep without even telling him she was pregnant. That's the only reason I could think for Taiyang not knowing that he has another daughter somewhere.
