One practical difference is that there's no bug trackers for
individual COPRs. At least when a package is in Fedora, communication
can happen in a central place (Bugzilla), and there's an FE-LEGAL
blocker mechanism, etc. That tooling is much easier than trying to
handle things over private email, and none of that tooling exists
outside the distro. I've looked through COPR's features and roadmap
and I've not seen plans to add it, unfortunately.
