I've cleaned-up my scripts: https://pagure.io/michel-slm/bulk-rebuild and blogged about them: https://michel-slm.name/posts/2020-12-30-fedora-bulk-rebuild/ They mostly wrap around rpmdev-bumpspec, fedpkg, and bodhi right now. Curious to see how much can be factored out and shared among different packagers that perform similar tasks. e.g. I see the GNOME packagers doing bulk updates too. One observation (also in the post): The CLIs for fedpkg and koji is currently meant for human, not machine, consumptions. Invoking them from Bash scripts and trying to use the output (e.g. getting the name of that side tag) involves some brittle parsing. I plan to rewrite this in Python anyway, but it might be useful to add an output formatter to some commands where it makes sense (e.g. request-side-tag or chain-build).
