Hello.

On Aug 12 2020, a new Copr release landed production.  Here is the list
of visible changes:

- Project karma implemented; Logged-in users can give
   thumbs-up/thumbs-down to the existing copr projects.  This is just
   another way to give feedback about a particular Copr project quality.
   This is merely subjective.  We do not give you guidance what "thumbs
   up/down" means.  When it is good for you - for whatever reason - give it
   thumbs up.  It may be just feedback for the maintainer or other users.
   Or we may automatically select and group high-quality projects in the
   future - and e.g. revive the idea of the Playground [1].  The options
   are open. We would like to hear your feedback about this feature!

Assuming the arrows up and down near the copr name are for karma, I find the UI for this is a tad confusing. I've seen it before reading your announcement and had no idea what it is.

(This is true especially before refreshing the browser cache, it gets a bit better after.)

- Copr newly provides a build-time macro %buildtag.  Its format is
   `.copr<BUILD_ID>` and is useable for auto-incrementing the package's NVR
   in subsequent builds.  It may be used in spec file like:

         Release: 1%{?dist}%{?buildtag}

   It could be useful as good-enough alternative for the Release
   auto-bumping proposal.  See the fedora devel discussion [2] for more
   info.  This is not any kind of encouragement to use it.  We added it
   there to easy testing your ideas about the automatic filling of the
   Release tag.

This is really interesting feature for some of the projects.
Can this be used in official Fedora specfiles or does it need a guideline?

- Command-line interface for the project package listing was significantly
   optimized, and should now be faster than the web-UI on large projects
   (issue/757).

Thanks, I'll test it instead of my "parse-HTML-by-regex" mad script :)
