Nowadays, I would likely shift the prerequisites to highlight the
importance of

  - the "fedora-review" tool
  - Mock, as needed by fedora-review and used by koji
  - koji, the Fedora Build System

New packagers MUST attempt at doing a self-review with the help of
the fedora-review tool, i.e. honestly try to fill in the '[ ]' items.

New packagers MUST become familiar with Mock at the level of being
able to do local test-builds.

New packagers MUST become familiar with koji at the level of being
able to do scratch-builds and handle errors in build.log and root.log.

Add to that familiarity with bodhi web, Fedora's Update System web page,
i.e. where to find it and leaving karma points on updates. Bodhi CLI as
a bonus.
