Yeah, looks like mass rebuild just skips these packages:

I am wondering if it wouldn't make sense to do a scratch build in that
case and proceed with normal FTBS policy [0] if it fails.
The policy will eventually kick in. Recent changes make it so that packages
that haven't rebuilt for certain number of releases will be retired with
announcements. Even if releng have never attempted to do so.
That means that if packages with noautobuild fail to build, nobody will
notice for ~year and than the maintainer have 6 weeks to fix it. \o/
I strongly suggest we should revisit all our noautobuild packages.
For example, for tk, the commit says:
2014-05-21 Added noautobuild, tcl/tk-8.6 cannot be automatically rebuild now
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tk/c/90966fa?branch=master
But the package was rebuilt couple times in the last 5 years actually.
I'm going to file a PR to remove the noautobuild from tk. Doesn't seem to
have a justification.
