Well the maintainers would just not accept the requests. :)

But probably none would be submitted anyway, since everybody knows that
would be what happens. (But #2, the texlive maintainers would never do
that since the release team would not approve the maintainers' request -
it's a tiered process.  Again, probably not appropriate for Fedora.)

What does happen sometimes is two people make unrelated changes to the
same package, and open build service is not smart enough to handle that
very well. (Not a problem with git.)
