- The Spring Maiden went to Raven/the Tribe for protection after the Ozluminati failed to protect Amber.

- Raven killed the Spring Maiden to get the powers for herself (unlikely given her implied age, unless it happened some time ago).

- Raven is the Spring Maiden. Orrrr, what I've been thinking: One of the younger female bandits in Raven's tribe became the new Spring Maiden.

(..) 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 guess the possibility of Raven being the Spring Maiden depends on wherever Qrow knows who has the powers now.

If Spring went AWOL recently and Qrow has been trying to locate her, then he would know it's not Raven.

But if they haven't been able to determine who has the Spring powers for a while, then there is the possibility it's Raven, and Qrow is assuming it's not her.

Or, since Qrow lost contact with Spring, the powers passed to someone else and he doesn't know.
