I forwarded that bug to the author and got the following answer:

Thanks for writing.  I am no longer modifying covington.sty, but it
sounds like it would be a good idea to make the changes you suggest
(simply removing those two lines, which reflect personal preferences
of mine and do not interact with anything else in the package). 
Would someone like to do that and become co-author of the package?

(I suggested to remove that \raggedbottom in the sty file too, as it
has nothing to do with the purpose of the package).

As you seem to be an active user of the package: would you like to be
the mentioned co-author?
