Also I'm suspicious about the quality of that list because it

For the purposes of this proposal, your packages still need to
BuildRequires: make. I don't want to depend on this kind of indirect
dependency to keep things working, because it can be fragile.
So instead I'm supposed to somehow know what tools the tools
that I use choose to invoke under the covers? Where does that
insanity end exactly? Do I have to require gas because gcc
will use it to assemble the code it generates?
No, in that case gcc needs to Require: gas, because it is a run-time
dependency of that package.
CMake will still work if make is not installed. Packages that use
cmake + Ninja should require those packages, and packages that use
cmake + make should require those packages too.
