The way I see it is if it takes ~5 months to build a fortress, it isn't too unlikely to merely repair it in one month.

It only gets repaired in one month if you have enough troops in the province to repair it in one month.

Wouldn't it be the population of the occupied province who should end up doing the repairing, rather than troops?

The population definitely although you'd need plenty of guards to "encourage" them in their efforts.

No no no, you can't have the local population rebuilding the fortress, you have to go to the guild of contractors and they send workers all the way from your capital province to rebuild the fortress

I believe (from the manual) that this is already implemented. An army has a seige strength and a repair strength (isn't it something like strength squared divided by 100?), plus bonuses (seige for seige, repair for repair). This is added/subtracted automatically each turn, and does NOT come back in full when the attacker leaves, it will just come back faster (obviously).
