One problem I can see with this approach is that only commiters of
Pagure repo could change the file, while currently any member of
packager FAS group can change Koschei flag for any package. But that
could work if provenpackager policy explicitly allowed changing this
file directly, without filing bugs and waiting for maintainer response.

Alternative solutions:

1. Revert to using Koschei's own package tracking mechanism. Koschei can
be deployed in environments without PkgDB and therefore it has its own
way for enabling package rebuilds.

2. Drop the flag and enable Koschei for all packages in all collections.
In the past I would vote for this solution, but with current modularity
efforts I'm not sure if we have enough builder capacity to do this.
