For those few of us who maintain hundreds-thousands of packages, having everything go via a Pull Request is just not scalable as things are right now. If packaging tools can "hide the details" around this in a reliable way so that packagers don't see what happens behind the scenes, then we can talk. But that would involve at least six new steps that would've to be automated: 1) Creating a fork on src.fp.o (plus error handling around already existing forks), 2) Cloning the fork instead of the main repo, 3) Automatically creating a PR after a git push, 4) Automatically merging the PR if CI passes, 5) Deleting the fork, 6) Automatically building the package in koji ...
