I don't think koji has any sense of 'new packages' there. 
newRepo tasks just run over all the packages in a tag and make the
repos. They don't know what package(s) change. :(

Oh? How would we know? We don't make rawhide install images anymore... 

Or this is some local testing you have done?

Well, bodhi is not used for rawhide in any way currently... so, not
sure how we can properly fit autoqa in there. :(
