That sounds very nice.

Is there a place to discuss this approach?

I assume you still generate a flattened source tarball and inject that
into the RPM spec file?

I do wonder if it would be preferably to write the source RPM directly
(from a plain working tree, without history), with non-flattened paths,
and archive that in Koji for reproducibility.
